White Tara Initiation

Sunday 22 August at 10am

White Tara is associated with practices which can contribute to enhancing one’s life span and overcome whitetara01life-threatening hindrances. White Tara practice can also be done on behalf of someone who is ill.

Ven. Geshe Doga prepares for the empowerment by doing a White Tara retreat on our behalf, and dedicates the positive energy to our physical, spiritual and mental well-being. Geshe-la has said that he has seen sick and critically ill people regain their health after being given the White Tara mantra to recite. Even those without problems can avert future sickness and obstacles to a long and healthy life. By relying on White Tara and reciting her mantra, we can achieve a deep level of inner well-being so that we can truly be of help to ourselves and others.

The atmosphere during these initiations is inspirational. Through the Spiritual Teacher’s blessings, we are opened to the presence of White Tara as an active, healing dimension of Buddhahood.

There are no prerequisites or subsequent commitments involved in attending the initiation. Members, families and friends are most welcome to attend. Please phone Ani Rigsal on 9596 7410 if you have any further queries.

Dharma Quote

"Unruly beings are as unlimited as space
They cannot possibly all be overcome,
But if I overcome thoughts of anger alone
This will be equivalent to vanquishing all foes.

Where would I possibly find enough leather
With which to cover the surface of the earth?
But (wearing) leather just on the soles of my shoes
Is equivalent to covering the earth with it.

Likewise it is not possible for me
To restrain the external course of things;
But should I restrain this mind of mine
What would be the need to restrain all else?"

Shantideva, "A Bodhisattva's Way of Life"
