Green Tara and Om Tare Tuttare Ture Soha mantra. The meaning of divinity in Tibetan Buddhism

Tara statue at Dag Shang Kagyu buddhist center in Panillo, Spain.

Green Tara mantra OM TARE TUTTARE TURE SOHA was the first mantra I learned. The psychotherapist who helped me a few years ago taught me. He recommended reciting him everything I could between the sessions, and since I wanted to be better, I thought: "I have nothing to lose, let's give it a try". I recited it as I traveled by subway, while showering and whenever I could.

"🔸In Tibetan Buddhism, the divinity is not an external, worldly deity, but a divinity that arises within us, it comes from our interior because it is our true nature, the state of Buddha, and therefore establishing a connection with it is of great benefit . By reciting the mantra Om Tare Tuttare Ture Soha we create a connection with Tara, which is our true nature, thus pacifying afflictive emotions and obstacles that we have.

🔹There is a great variety of fears. They all come from within and do not come from outside, as we normally think. These fears appear in our minds because of disturbing emotions, which are the result of ignorance of not recognizing our true nature. Therefore, by praying to Tara and reciting the Om Tare Tuttare Ture Soha mantra, we say that it protects us and frees us from all these fears.

🔸When the ultimate nature of the spirit has been realized, all fear disappears.

🎵 Sounds have the power to produce an effect on the mind.

By reciting the Om Tare Tuttare Ture Soha mantra from Tibetan Buddhism (Green Tara mantra) we receive the transmission of the  qualities of the mind of Tara , the grace of divinity: just as we normally identify with our name, by reciting the mantra we identify with the divinity.

👉"To free ourselves from our fears we seek protection. Tara protects us from any kind of fear. All the thoughts that we have arise from our mind that, distracted, leads us to confusion and disturbing emotions are produced: desire, aversion, opacity, pride and envy. Tara is the mirror where we can see our mind and the state of confusion in which we find ourselves, as the clouds cover the sun. If we look at Tara, the confusion and darkness disappear. The practice of Tara removes all unfavorable conditions, as well as diseases and obstacles of all kinds, and grants us long life and increased wisdom to overcome all suffering."
