om tare
om tare tuttare ture soha
Green Tara Mantra can be loosely translated as, “O tara! I entreat you, O Tara! O swift one! Hail!”
A fully enlightened female buddha, Tara is the actuality of compassion in action, the essence of awakened love, wisdom and compassion. She is known as “venerable mother of liberation,” “the mother of all the buddhas” and “she who ferries beings across the ocean of samsara.” Meditating on Tara can help awaken our own budda nature.

gayatri mantra
om bhur bhuvaha svaha , tat savitur varenyam
bhargo devasya dhimahi, dhiyo yonah prachodayat
“The name ‘Gayatri’ can be translated as the ‘Song of Liberation’. It is said to be the most ancient of the mantras, an indigenous prayer to the sun asking for the enlightenment of all beings. It invokes the radiant source of life itself, purifying our thoughts, words and actions. The inherent light force of the Sanskrit sounds is universal – just as every living being on the planet lives under the same sun and receives the same light, so the Gayatri shines eternally on our inner path, lighting the way, blessing our journey.”
