Red Tara Practice

...are completely enveloped in karmic patterns that create harm for others and more suffering for themselves. Practitioners are among the fortunate few...Like a raindrop dissolving into the ocean, one's merit becomes part of the limitless benefit the buddhas and bodhisattvas emanate for sentient beings.

Dedicating the merit protects practitioners from developing false pride in practice and from undercutting, by nonvirtue, the merit they have generated.

Then one has the opportunity to wish for the enlightenment of all beings. Other ending prayers are offered.

In my case, over the ensuing weeks I came to feel the compassion, generosity, and constancy of Tara's protection. I did not look for it nor anticipate it, but most surely it was as Chagdud Khadro says:"Once we have made our commitment of faith in Tara, an extraordinary sense of blessing and protection envelops us."

TEACHERS AND TEACHINGS

I had the good fortune (or was it the result of lifetimes of karma?) to receive the Red Tara empowerment from Lama Inge Sandvoss. Her impeccable rendering of the teachings, and her contagious joy are combined with patience and openness. Lama Inge was trained by Chagdud Tulku Rinpoche and is today director of Padma Ling, a Buddhist center in Spokane, Washington. (509) 747-1559 vip@worldpeacenet.com
