Gyuto Vajrayana Center

Tara Puja

White Tara

Tara is the principal female manifestation of enlightenment in the Buddhist tradition. She is specifically associated with practices designed to lengthen one's lifespan and overcome life-threatening hindrances. The Four Mandala Offering Ritual of Tara serves as a community practice. As Tara dispels personal and global obstacles, we come together to ensure the ongoing stability of the Center, its community and ourselves.

This puja is led by the Venerable Gyuto monks. Everyone is welcome. Participants can bring flowers, fruites and candles for the altar.
