Introduction to Tara Practice with Gen Dragpa
& 24 hours Tara prayers
Gen Dragpa will give a teaching on the practice of Green Tara. This is a very special prayer where we can for developing a deep feeling of closeness with Buddha Tara, through which we can receive her blessings and protection.
When asked recently how we can best help the world at this time, Venerable Geshe Kelsang Gyatso Rinpoche advised us to pray to Tara.
Following this advice, on the 8th day of each month, Tara day in the NKT, Kadampas around the world will join together for six sessions of prayers to Tara in 24 hours. These prayers will be streamed from Manjushri KMC, the mother center of Kadampa Buddhism.
These prayers include praises to the twenty-one manifestations of Tara. Because these are Sutra, the actual words of Buddha, they are particularly powerful and blessed.

Tara is…
a female Buddha, a manifestation of the ultimate wisdom of all the Buddhas. Her name means "Rescuer" because she rescues us from all outer and inner fears. Ultimately she rescues us from all suffering and guides us to full enlightenment. Like a mother she protects us from all internal and external dangers; she provides us with all the necessary conditions for our spiritual training, and guides us and inspires us with her blessings as we progress along the spiritual path.
