    “Do we really comprehend the vastness that is Tara? She is one of the most popular devotional and meditational deities, honored all around the world, practiced by all schools of Vajrayana Buddhism, many Mahayana Buddhists, Hindus, and others. She is so popular, she is called โ€œMama Taraโ€โ€”and She never takes Herself seriously. Sheโ€™s a daily good friend, ready helper, saving hero, precious guide. She always has โ€œtimeโ€ for everyoneโ€”after all, time is relative. She is just as quick to help the prisoner in jail as the faithful practitioner, without discrimination. If Her name is called, She answers.”

    “Who doesnโ€™t love a mother? Whether by the name of Mom, Tara, Madonna, or Mother Earth, the mother is a universally approachable concept. Like a mother, Tara doesnโ€™t question Her children. If we need Her help, regardless of our own blemishes, we will get Her help.

    Nothing can stand before a motherโ€™s compassion. Literally, mothers have lifted cars off of trapped children. A mother would die for her family. Taraโ€™s love goes even beyond this level. She loves all, with equanimity.”

    โ€œTara is without doubt the most beloved female deity in Tibetan Buddhism, revered for her swiftness in helping those who rely on her. She has been described as a Buddha for our modern age, a sublime personification of compassion and wisdom in female form at a time when sorrow and suffering seem to be increasing everywhere. Of all the Buddhas, Tara is the most accessible.โ€ โ€” From the book Tara in the palm of your hand, by Acharya Zasep Tulku Rinpoche

    About Yoko Dharma

    From her website:

    ย โ€œSometimes when you wait, it gives you time to grow and flower into something much more beautiful then you had ever imagined. This is the case with Yoko Dharma. The last 5 years for this Canadian born recording artist has been full of growth opportunities as she has patiently been waiting to record her RnB debut albumย โ€œFreedom Reign.โ€ย Now her album is almost complete!ย  Producerย Marty Rifkinย is working on this album with Yoko, bringing โ€œFreedom Reignโ€ to life and helping Yoko manifest her vision into the world. Marty has recorded withย Jewel,ย Bruce Springsteen,ย Elton Johnย andย numerous other well-known artists. The culturally diverse world music influences drawn on to make โ€œFreedom Reignโ€ album, stem from Yokoโ€™s passionate love of world music and unique world instruments, which are all a part of Yokoโ€™s intriguing sound. Her motivation to break through cultural barriersย using music as theย conduitย for positive global change and peace, is a call to action andย  transformation of oneโ€™s mind, which is given to the listener through Yokoโ€™s conscious lyrics throughout the album.ย  Steeped in the basic human qualities of love, compassion and awareness, Yoko draws from the deep rooted wisdom that Tibetan Buddhism has given her in her life and reflects this in her songwriting. Between Marty Rifkinโ€™s expertise and Yoko Dharmaโ€™s strong message and powerfully sweet voice, I have no doubt that Yokoโ€™s debutย  RnB album will shake the globe, stirring international fans everywhere!
    ย  ย  ย Growing up as a Tibetan Buddhist in the west was a slightly different childhood then most Canadian kids have. This had a profound and deep influence on Yoko from an early age, especially when she started adapting Tibetan Buddhist meditations and practices more seriously at the age of 13. This definitely makes Yoko unique in the way she writes music and in terms of what she has to say based on her own understanding. This seems to spill out to people because many of her fans resonate with what she is singing about .ย Her ability to connect with the listeners weather it is on stage or through a recording is profound because of some basic truths she sings about which transcend culture, race and religion. Essentially,ย the science of the mind, the truth of all phenomena and some fundamental human qualities that we all possessย like love, kindness and compassion. This is why so many people relate to her music and I think this is why she can move people so deeply because somewhere inside they also know these truths or have had similar experiences.โ€Yoko started singing as soon as she arrived in this world. Born deep in the lush mountains of British Columbia,ย Yoko is a small town girl from Nelson.ย She was raised surrounded by musicians and artists. Her mother isย a singer and her father a guitar player who both writeย music. As a child growing up she would often create fantastic shows for guests when they would visit, stepping onto stage in public at the young age of 13. This was when she also began to write her own songs. From disco bands to African dance troupes, Buddhist Mantras to touring with her own original RnB/world music and opening for Jan Arden, Yoko has a captivating musical and performance background. Yoko has also studied African, Modern, Afro Cuban, Salsa and Balinese styles of dance.โ€โ€œIn 2007 she co-produced and recorded her first albumย โ€ Yoko Treasury of Jewels.โ€ย The album received amazing reviews, being happily received by Yokoโ€™s fans. It also was chosen as โ€œeditorโ€™s pickโ€ย  by Peters on CD baby.ย ย โ€œHer voice is a bit like Madonnaโ€™s, that is to say, she is fully capable of pure enchantment. Yokoโ€™s entrancing voice is a pure pleasure to listen to.โ€ ~ Writesย Peters at CD Baby. This album reached beyond the Buddhist community spilling out to many of Yokoโ€™s fans internationally who are not Buddhist but fell in love with the album. โ€œTreasury of Jewelsโ€ย is sung in Sanskrit and Tibetan, it is comprised of traditional Tibetan mantras and chants made into beautiful, engaging world music songs.โ€

    I sing to create awareness and positive global change. Invoking healing, peace and transformation through the power of music, my intention and my lyrics.
    As I grow and cultivate these things in my own life, my motivation is to inspire others to do so as well. If we can realize the true wisdom and compassion that is deep within us and if we genuinely come from a place of caring and compassion when relating to other people, I believe we can truly change the whole world.
