life is hard. through it all, she guides me. the star of Liberation.
“When requesting Tara to free us, we are actually calling upon our inner Tara—the seeds of our own wisdom and compassion.”
Through practice over a long period of time, we generate the wisdom that realizes emptiness, and through meditating on this, the mind is cleansed of defilements, the roots of suffering
To have the ability to practice in this life is a deep blessing. may i continue practicing and remembering. please may i see clearly.
To practice daily. It can be very hard. It can be beautiful beyond belief. It can be boring. It can be……..
If we show up, she guides us in meditation practice so we generate transformative realizations. In doing the work, look around—she is everywhere. In your lover, enemy, teacher, in a blade of grass. Maybe you pray to someone else. Tell me if you want,i’d love to hear your devotion. starlight is my deity.
“The deity is not a deity in the ordinary sense of the word, not like an external god or goddess as we might think of. These deities are personifications of ‘mind-force,’ ……. the object of worship not an external form, but the principle of enlightenment itself, within everyone.”
