Lyrics
(TURN ON Subtitles or CC to Chant Along!)
From my heart I bow to Mother Tara
Activity of love and compassion
Three precious gems gathered into one
Divine mother Tara watch over me.
By the witness of Three Precious Jewels
I sing from my heart not only my mouth
I pray to you each morning and evening
Divine mother Tara watch over me.
My principle guru is you Tara
Inspire me divine mother loving one
Arouse your great power of compassion
Divine mother Tara watch over me.
I take refuge in you Divine Tara
Enlightened activity in all worlds
Arouse the power of your compassion
Divine mother Tara watch over me.
I take refuge in you Divine Tara
Enlightened activity in all worlds
Arouse the power of your compassion
Divine mother Tara watch over me.
Divine Mother Tara, my Protector
With your quick and certain divine action
Arouse the power of your compassion
Divine mother Tara watch over me.
Still bound to afflictions and samsara
You, Mother Tara, are my true richness
Tara please grant my virtuous wishes
Divine mother Tara watch over me.
Divine Mother Tara, my true best friend
Be close to me Tara, essence of love
With compassion and swift activity
Divine mother Tara watch over me.
Tara you are my guru, my yidam
Tara you’re my protector, my refuge
You’re mother, friend, everything to me,
Divine mother Tara watch over me.
Though my mind is overwhelmed by habit,
Please cut my self-centered uncontrolled thoughts
Guide me instead to compassion, kindness
Divine mother Tara watch over me.
Empower me to cut our suffering
Empower me to cut our self-grasping
Empower me to understand Dharma
Divine mother Tara watch over me.
Inspire me to Bodhisattva conduct
Inspire me to turn away from worldly
Inspire me to benefit all beings
Divine mother Tara watch over me.
Guide me to be simple in my practice
Guide me to practice profound diamond path
Guide me to attain realizations
Divine mother Tara watch over me.
Divine Tara you know everything
All about my life’s ups, downs good and bad
Being open to you, I give myself
Divine mother Tara watch over me.
May the hook of your wisdom compassion
Your skillful means turn my mind and others
To dharma, rescuer of all beings
Divine mother Tara watch over me.
May I quickly conquer the four hindrances.
May Mother Tara and the three jewels
Hold me dear until I reach Enlightenment
Divine mother Tara watch over me.
MAY ALL BEINGS BENEFIT!
