The chanting of the Tara Mantra is part of an esoteric Buddhist practice of utpattikrama. Here the pratitioner dissolves the mundane universe into the void or Shunyata which is the emptiness of all self-projected reality that is the inherent pure nature of all things. From this place of cosmic creation the practitioner recreates his or her universe as the mandala of Tara - the feminine aspect of Universal Compassion that sees perfection in all things and all situations. The practitioner generates himself or herself as Tara with the help of the bija or seed syllables Tut and Ture which are the primordial seeds of compassion stored within our subtle energy bodies. For a more detailed understanding of utpattikrama please reference The Cult of Tara Magic and Ritual in Tibet by Stephan Beyer. | ||
