Discovering My Garden of Tara
This is the space I use to bring me to my garden of wildflowers. I am growing to love my garden with each day that passes. These flowers are wild and beautiful in all their existence. The more I continue to grow, the deeper my roots extend, grounding me in my being. Many people in this life bring parts of their garden into mine. Some plants I keep, some I let die. Wildflowers are not for everyone. I am learning how to let mine grow. My intention is to allow others to see the what works for me, in hopes you can take a piece to propagate for your own. I hope my journey inspires yours, whatever that may look like to the individual. I started this space as my guide. I hope these pieces that encourage my existence, will encourage yours.
Metaphorical short garden story completed for now. Thanks for reading!
Tara in hinduism and buddhism
“Tara is a female deity in both Hinduism and Buddhism who personifies compassion and offers salvation”
“Like a star, Tara is thought to provide a single point of light one can navigate by.”
“[Tara] vows to always be incarnated as a female for as long as she continues in the realm of samsara because there were many men who served as role models of the enlightened path but, owing to human ignorance and male arrogance, few women.”
“[Red Tara:] She is associated with the attraction of positive energies, spiritual focus, and psychological/spiritual victory. She is often invoked by those trying to break bad habits.”
“Green Tara: known as "Tara Who Protects from the Eight Fears" (lions, elephants, fire, snakes, thieves, water, imprisonment, demons), representing protection from misfortune generally”
“Tara, in the story of her enlightenment in the realm of multicolored light, makes clear that "male" and "female" are illusory designations clung to by shallow minds unable to recognize the true nature of reality.”
“IT IS THIS VOW THAT TARA WOULD LATER BECOME KNOWN FOR; HER INSISTENCE ON THE ERROR IN DESIGNATIONS, AND HER RESOLVE TO LEAD BEINGS ON THE HIGHER PATH OF REALIZATION…LIBERATING AN INFINITE NUMBER OF SUFFERING BEINGS BOTH DAY AND NIGHT, WISDOM MOON CAME TO BE KNOWN AS "SAVIORESS" OR, IN SANSKRIT, "TARA"”
If we look within
And truly listen
To what we project
Just try to accept
Let our feelings connect
There is no need to hide
That light inside
