The Praise

I praise the One abiding in the center of a garland,

Who blazes like the fire at the end of a kalpa (eon).

With her right leg outstretched and left leg folded, she completely

Destroys the enemies of those who rejoice in the turning of the Wheel of Dharma.

The verse praising Red Burning Tara indicates that she stands with you during deep evolutionary changes in human consciousness—including evolution in the teachings themselves, historically referred to as the turning of the Wheel of Dharma.

Various buddhas from the Tibetan pantheon as well as Hindu deities are depicted standing in the center of a lotus throne encircled by a garland of flames. They balance on one leg, trampling a corpse underfoot, the other leg raised ready to trample others. These corpses represent internal “enemies” of false beliefs and illusions that cause you to harm yourself or others. Red Burning Tara helps you dance with resistance and fear of change and move into freedom as you leave destructive patterns behind. She protects you as you grapple with major shifts within yourself or larger society.

This praise connects Tara to the ancient lineages of India and Tibet and to the present with its pressure to work long hours or to consume everything the market offers. She demands that you go further on the path of self-inquiry. Call on this Tara when the time has come to free yourself from a long-standing pattern that has shaped your perceptions and affected your life choices. Wholeheartedly affirm your need for rest and intimate connection with yourself, others, and the natural world.

Because you are inseparable from the web of life around you, your inner work and self-care naturally contribute to the healing of the world.
