Green Tara Mantra Circle Pendant

The Tara mantra, "om tare tuttare ture soha," translates to "I prostrate to the Liberator, Mother of all the Victorious Ones." The mantra consists of three key phrases: "tare," "tuttare," and "ture." "Tare" signifies Tara's ability to liberate beings from samsara, the cycle of true suffering, which includes birth, old age, sickness, death, and other human sufferings. When you take refuge in Tara and engage in her practices, she helps liberate you from these sufferings. "Tuttare" frees you from the eight fears, which are not only external dangers but also internal disturbances such as ignorance, attachment, anger, pride, jealousy, miserliness, doubt, and wrong views. This word liberates you from the true causes of suffering, which are karma and disturbing thoughts.

"Ture" liberates you from disease and represents the cessation of suffering, which is the ultimate Dharma. This term points to the deeper disease of ignorance and the disturbing thoughts arising from it. By taking refuge in Tara and practicing her mantra, you receive her blessings, allowing you to establish the root of the path in your heart, purifying your body, speech, and mind. "Soha" signifies this establishment and transformation, ultimately leading you to achieve Tara's pure vajra body, speech, and mind. Thus, "om tare tuttare ture soha" embodies the essence of taking refuge in Tara and transforming oneself through her blessings.
