Twenty -One Taras were born from the tears of the Compassion Buddha Avalokiteśvara (Tib Chenrezig). They vowed to help all sentient beings who are in danger, pain, and suffering as well as those face obstacles physically and/or mentally. Whoever pray to them are protected from dangers and are able to pacify any obstacles in the puisuit of happiness and peace, especially with the intention to bring happiness and peace to all living beings.

Given recent events of natural disasters, wars, and terrorists attacks all over this world, the Twenty-One Tara Initiation and Blessing is much needed. Please join us in the prayer to the Twenty-One Taras for a loving, peacful, harminious world and life. 

May all beings free from wars, natural disasters, dieseases, harms of any kind.
May all beings live in peace and harmony and have love and compassion toward each other.

Bodhisattvacharyāvatāra, A Guide to the Bodhisattva's Way of Life was written by Bodisattva Shantideva, a great meditator in 700 AD. He was born in Southern India as a crown prince to a wealthy and powerful king. He renounced that path and became a buddhist monk at  Nālandā Monastic University. The text has ten chapters, each devoted to a specific aspect of mental training with the aim of full enlightenment to benefit all sentient beings.

The teaching will start with Chapter 6 The Practice of Patience.
