The Asian Welder

Tara is a female Buddha, a manifestation of the ultimate wisdom of all the Buddhas.  Tara means “Rescuer”. Since she is a wisdom Buddha, and since she is a manifestation of the completely purified wind element, Tara is able to help us very quickly.

i have made a habit of repeating her mantra when i travel by stella!

OM TARE TUTTARE TURE SOHA

OM Homage to Tara, the Swift One, the Heroine,

Whose eyes are like a flash of lightening,

Who arose from the opening of a lotus,

Born from the tears of the Protector of the Three Worlds.
