21 Mother Taras Mantras
The Unlimited Forms of Compassionate Activity
Noble Arya Tara — who has more names, emanations, and epitaphs than any Bodhisattva — embodies all of the compassionate and wisdom activities of all the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas.
How better to represent all of these diverse activities than in a multiplicity of forms? There are not only 21 Taras, but 108 Taras, and 1008 Taras, and more. For the 21 Taras, we have several distinct lineages: Lord Atisha’s lineage (discussed here), Surya Gupta lineage, and several other Terma lineages.
Here we provide PDF downloads of Pujas, Practices, Sadhanas, and Sutras for recitation:
