21 English Praises: Singable
Around the world, Tibetan Buddhists start each day with the 21 praises (and often over it the same way. Usually, it’s chanted multiple times throughout the day. There are many stories of miraculous rescues from Tara for people chanting this praise with faith — see “Tara’s rescues and saving power.“
There are various English versions of the chant (the most traditional version under the heading “Traditional Translation” below). However, there is one version that has the rhythm for sung chanting — in Tibetan và Sanskrit, the praise is an equal number of syllables. This version is a little fast if you are new khổng lồ the Praise (try slowing the đoạn phim on YouTube khổng lồ .75x). The tốc độ is designed around the idea of (ideally) three sessions of 2, 3, and 7 repetitions.
Each verse of the praise is a homage to lớn one of Tara’s 21 emanations, each with a different “activity” specialty (illness, wealth, etc.) Please see our other features on the praise for commentaries on the deeper meanings of the praise.

OM
Noble Lady Tara we bow to lớn you
Praise to lớn Tara, swift and galant,

Praise khổng lồ you whose face resembles
a hundred autumn full moons together,
Your radiance lượt thích the clearest of stars,
blazing with hundreds of brilliant light rays.
Praise to lớn you whose hand is graced with
a lotus flower blue-gold in color,
You show generosity, diligence, fortitude,
patience, serenity, meditation.
Praise to lớn you whose acts are boundless,
the jewel on the great Tathagata’s crown.
You are served by all bodhisattvas,
those who have reached complete perfection.
Praise to lớn you, with HUM và TUTTARA
fulfilling all wishes lớn the bounds of space.
YOu trample underfoot all seven worlds;
you have the strength khổng lồ summon all.
Praise! Lady, greatly adored by Anala, Brahma, Maruts, & Shiva.
All the hosts of vetalas & spirits,
ghandarvas và yaksas to lớn you pay honor.
Praise lớn you, who with TRAD and the PHAT quickly
overthrow schemes và wicked practice.
With rightleg bent và left leg extended,
stamping, you shine amid flames wildly blazing.
Praise khổng lồ you fleet footed, ferocious,
destroying even the most powerful demons,
your lotus-face và brow deep furrowed
-every foe, how swiftly you slay them!
Praise! Your fingers gracing your heart,
displaying the mudra of the three jewels,
Your wheel, adorning every direction,
a fierce whirling mass of your own self-radiance.
Praise! Blessed with a splendorous crown,
bright, majestic, supremely joyous.
Laughing and smiling, thrum of TUTTARA,
you overcome the realm of demons.
Praise lớn you! You summon whole legions
of earthly guardians from all directions.
With HUM rumbling deep in your frown,
you free us all from every misfortune.

Praise, Lady, brightly adorned,
the crest on your crown a sliver of moon,
Your locks always graced by Amithaba,
his gleaming light rays endlessly streaming.
Praise khổng lồ you in a blazing halo
of flames all consuming, apocalyptic,
With right leg stretched out & left leg bent inward,
the whirl of enemies blissfully crushing.
Praise to you, on the ground of earth
striking your palms và thund’ring your feet.
The HUM that streams from your furrowing brow
smashes lớn dust the netherworlds seven.

you lay khổng lồ waste every terrible evil.
Praise lớn you immersed in bliss,
you shatter the bodies of all your foes.
you shine with the wisdom-syllable HUM,
stamping out your ten-syllable mantra.
Praise Swift One, your foot stomping boldly
sowing the seed of the syllable HUM,
While Meru, Mandara, the Vindva Mountains,
and all the three worlds quiver và tremble.
Praise, Goddess! In your hand is a
deer-marked moon, a lake -like pool.
With TARA twice & then with PHAT,
you neutralize every plague & poison.
Praise! Queen of hosts divine!
Gods & kinnaras willingly serve you,
At play immersed in sheerest joy, you
clear away nightmares, soothe away strife.
Praise to you, clear-eyed, all-seeing,.
like the bright sun, & the full moon.
With twice uttered HARA và then with TUTTARA,
you pacify even the fiercest diseases.
Praise to lớn you of the three-fold nature,
filled with power và boundless grace,
Profoundly swift, your devastation
of hosts of graha, vetala, and yaksha
Root. Mantra supreme and joyful praises-
– these are the twenty-one verses of homage.

20-Minute Tara Meditation
Follow along with Venerable Zasep Rinpoche, tác giả of Tara in the Palm of Your Hand, for a guided 20-minute meditation and practice of Tara
Tea or Torma offering
Bopar Rinpoche, in his wonderful book Tara The Feminine Divine, recommends that in addition lớn general offerings of water bowls, flowers, incense, that someone seeking a special activity from the great Saving Goddess consider a Torma (cake) offering. Likewise, the same offering can be made as hot tea — traditionally indicating “activity offering.”
After presenting and purifying the offering — OM AH HUM being a widely used purification mantra — he suggests the traditional activity dedication (substitute “tea offering” as appropriate):
“Tara, You who fully rejoice in the mandala creation, consume this well-made offering torma. Give me & people around me: health, life, power, glory, fame, luck, & abundent wealth. Give me the accomplishments of activities, such as purification, increase & others. You who have made the promise protect me, give me the support of all accomplishments. Brush away untimely death and illness, demons and creators of obstacles. Brush away bad dreams, inauspicious signs & unwholesome acts. Make the world happy, the years excellent, the harvest bountiful. Make the Dharma spread, happiness perfect and may all my wishes be realized.”
NOTE: If it makes you feel awkward to lớn demand so many wonderful activities, there’s no need lớn be. Tara will provide what our karma and our needs dictate.
