8th LUNAR: SUPREME ACTIVITY DAY: Mother Tara Day, Medicine Buddha Day
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.

About Karma Mother Tara:
Activity Day, the 8th Lunar Day, like the other three lunar Dharma days, are extra merit days. We might practice the 21 Tara Praise, or recite Tara’s Sutra or practice the Sadhanas of Tara or Medicine Buddha. 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.
