Colophon

This practice is from the Osel Dorje Sang Dzö, one of four cycles transmitted by Adzom Drukpa. It came from Longchenpa to Jigme Lingpa to Adzom Drukpa directly, and thus to Adzom Paylo Rinpoche, incarnation of Adzom Drukpa's son Pema Wangyal. Before leaving Tibet in 1998, Adzom Rinpoche received prophetic dreams about the dissemination of this Green Tara Sadhana from the Ösal Dorje Sang Dzö in the West. This edition was completed on June 11, 2016 at Tara Mandala. The translation was done by Erik Drew, Anne Klein and Lama Tsultrim Allione.

Ah tsar tsar lu bül yö: I offer this song with joy and delight! Sing last two lines twice. Endnotes i ♫ means full musical offering: bells, cymbals, horns, conch, drums etc in a group, or just bell and small damaru if one is practicing by oneself. ♪ means single bell by chant leader or oneself keeping rhythm, using instruments is also optional, according to circumstances. ii OM (begins the mantra) TUT TARE (activating Tara) TURE (swift, Tara's attribute, this exerts her activity) SWAHA. In the Praise of the 21 Taras there is a stanza, added later, about this mantra called the "praise of the mantra" which explains its meaning:

OM, homage to the sublime, the noble, the liberating one. Homage to TARE, the swift courageous one. In front of you, who with TUTTARA dissipates all fears, In front of you, who with TURE provides all benefits, In front of you SWA HA, I bow down.

iii An example of the longer Dharani would be The 21 Praises of Tara. iv In the Tibetan Buddhist lunar calendar, feasts are on the following days: the new moon is counted as the first day of the month. Thus, the 8th day is Tara Day, the 10th is Heruka or Guru Rinpoche Day, and 25th is Dakini Day.
