Green Tara is the liberating mother manifested by all buddhas, renowned for swift protection, dispelling danger, and fulfilling wishes. Nyingma practices her liturgy through terma lineage. In an online ceremony, the lama recites the praise of the twenty-one Tārās and her mantra, removing obstacles, granting peace, and fulfilling wishes—especially protecting women, travelers, and those in urgent peril.
🔱
🪷 Origin
Tārā, in Sanskrit, is born from Avalokiteśvara’s tear of compassion, or manifested as the activity of all buddhas. Green Tārā is her principal form—emerald green, right hand in boon-granting, left in the three-jewel gesture, seated on a lotus-moon, sworn to "swift rescue from the eight perils."
In Nyingma, Tārā’s practice often comes from terma and is linked to Yeshe Tsogyal’s emanation. Many Tibetan women take Tārā as their yidam, seeking her protection in childbirth, travel, and peril.

**Praise and mantra.** Reciting the "Praise to the Twenty-one Tārās" and "oṃ tāre tuttāre ture svāhā."
**Dedication of wishes.** Dedication is turned to your wish (safety, health, good conditions), and universally to all beings.
**Record.** A practice record is provided after the ceremony as witness.
You need not be present—Tārā’s vow does not choose by distance.
