Green Tara Practice

Sunday (second Sunday of the month)
11.45 – 12.45pm – currently on hold

Why is it that some people succeed in certain activities, where others fail? Their success can be attributed to having accumulated merit in their past lives for its ripening to be experienced in this life. Merit is positive energy created in the mind by doing virtuous actions with our body, speech and mind. The recommended method to succeed in any of life’s pursuits is that of training our minds in bodhicitta (the aspiration to become enlightened in order to benefit all beings, stemming from heartfelt love and compassion).

Undertaking Green Tara practice involves: generation of bodhicitta, recitation (of prayers and of a mantra), visualisation, offering, purification, requesting and dedicating. It includes recitation of a five-line prayer that requests Green Tara to bestow temporal and ultimate happiness. During its repetition, individuals can make their own special requests for success in spiritual and worldly pursuits, such as finding a job, and for their own health and long life or for that of others. Each session includes an explanation of the techniques, sourced from Kyabje Khensur Kangyurwa Rinpoche’s lineage, for new students to learn the practice, and for experienced students to progress.
