Saturday, February 28: 10 a.m. - 4 p.m. Teaching at the Shambhala Center in Minneapolis

White Tara Puja
Members and supporters of the Hay River KTC perform the group practice of White Tara. We will be using the White Tara sadhana text written by Kunkhyen Tai Situ Tenpay Nyinje. This event will take place via Zoom and at the KTC Hay River Center.
Tara is a female Bodhisattva. Her Tibetan name, Jetsunma Pakma Drolma, means Exalted Female Liberator. She bestows health and long life and freedom from fear. She represents both an enlightened being and our own enlightened essence and potential.
Our precious guru Khenpo Karthar Rinpoche said that Tara is ultimately the nature of the dharmadhatu itself, with no single appearance and no single color, but because she is active in the realms and experiences of sentient beings, she is perceived in different ways. Twenty-one Taras are described in the Buddha’s original teachings; in the White Tara form, she is known as the Wish-Fulfilling Wheel.
