Green Tara – Lesson 1

Rimpoche introduces Tara, and specifically the 21 Praises of Green Tara, as a time-honored practice used by generations of Tibetan monks as well as lay people of all social classes. As always, for any practice to produce desired results, motivation must be correctly understood. Motivation is the “why?” — the purpose for which we engage in Buddhist practice.
