Who is Tara?
Tara is the female aspect of Buddha. She is known as the Swift Savior.
“Tara represents the perfect expression of the inseparability of emptiness, awakened state and compassion. Just as you use a mirror to see your face, Tara meditation is a means of seeing the true face of your mind, free from any trace of illusion.
Tara herself took the bodhisattva vows and worked for the welfare of sentient beings for immeasurable ages. By her own choice, she has always been reborn in female form. By following the bodhisattva path to the final buddha state, she liberated countless beings from samsaric existence and relieved the suffering of infinite others. For this reason, Tara is known as the noble mother, the swift savior, the mother of victorius ones.”
Excerpt from the introduction written by Chagdud Rinpoche for the book: Commentaries on Red Tara, by Chagdud Khadro.
Drubchöd é uma prática elaborada e extensa, que inclui a recitação de uma sadana, mantras e danças rituais.
Um Drubchöd possui oferendas tão elaboradas quanto as de um Drubchen, porém em um período menor.
The practice of Red Tara is a high vajrayana meditation practice, done under the guidance of a qualified lama, through teachings and training over the years.
Red Tara is the main meditation of the various Chagdud Gonpa centers in the West.
The treasure of Red Tara, revealed by Apong Terton, was brought to Brazil by Chagdud Rinpoche, who compiled it and gave us the concise Red Tara practice as an entry into Vajrayana meditation practice.
