8th LUNAR: SUPREME ACTIVITY DAY: Tara, Medicine Buddha

Supreme Activity Day is on the first quarter moon, the 8th Day of the lunar month. As Enlightened Activity Day, it is, therefore special to Mother Tara and the Karma Buddha Family of Amoghasiddhi. In wrathful form the karma activity deities are, Vajrakilaya and Diptachakra. Or, for example, if the activity you are practicing is medical or health, this can also be Medicine Buddha Day. As the moon grows towards a full moon, we think of the “Enlightened Activities” growing and multiplying.

We might recite the supplication mantras of each of the 21 Taras to encourage those activities of power and magnetizing, pacifying, enriching and wrathful protective activities.
