Chittamani Tara |
|
Chittamani Tara (Green Tara), is a deity of Anuttarayoga Tantra, the highest yoga tantra. There are many inner obstructions to our mental development that manifest as external obstacles. To be successful in our dharma practice and to actualize the path to Enlightenment, we need to rely on a special Buddha like Green Tara. It is taught that the enlightened activity of all the Buddhas manifests in the form of Tara, who helps sentient beings successfully accomplish both temporary and ultimate happiness. |
