Welcome to the 5th Annual White Tara Retreat organized by Dri Thubten
Dargye Ling (Garchen Buddhist Centre, Singapore) which is specially
dedicated to World Peace & Prosperity, the Well-being of all
Sentient Beings, All Glorious Gurus and the longevity of our beloved
guru, His Eminence Garchen Rinpoche.
Thus, welcome 2011 with meritorious activities of chanting and writing of White Tara Mantra for the benefits of all.
White Tara (Arya Tara) offers abundance
qualities such as peace, happiness, wisdom,prosperity, health,
longevity as well as the elimination of obstacles and dangers through
her enlightened activities. She is depicted with a female body that is
the brilliant white of a thousand autumn moons.
Her third eye in her
forehead symbolizes her vision of the unity of ultimate reality while
she simultaneously sees the relative and dualistic world with her other
two eyes. Her hands and feet also have eyes, showing that all her
actions are governed by her ultimate wisdom and compassion. She is the
protective, helpful and comforting mother who shows limitless kindness,
generosity and protection towards those who are tossed in the ocean of
suffering, and if we recite her mantra and make a connection to her, we
draw closer to developing her enlightened qualities in ourselves.
