Green Tara initiation
Munday 9 June, 2008
10:00pm to 12:00pm

This practice is beneficial in many ways. There are many inner obstructions to our mental development and these manifest as external obstacles. To be successful in our Dharma practice and to actualize the path to Enlightenment, we need to rely on a special Buddha like Tara. Actions of the Buddha manifest in the form of Tara, to help sentient beings successfully accomplish both temporary and ultimate happiness.

By performing the practice of Tara, one can collect a great deal of merit, avoid suffering and lower rebirth, receive initiation from innumerable Buddhas and quickly attain Enlightenment. Tara's blessings are especially effective and appropriate for a person who has many virtuous missions to accomplish.
