Blue Tārā
Posted: Wed Jan 11, 2012 6:23 am
Does anyone know why Blue Tārā is associated with transmutation of anger? Any input or if I can be pointed in a direction in which I can read on this I would greatly appreciate.

Thank You Konchog1, do you know of a good book I can read more of Tara?Konchog1 wrote:She's from the Vajra family. Blue means that she's wrathful which involves turning anger into wisdom, forcefully dealing with obstacles and so forth.

I think the book would be best but if anyone's just browsing websites I think this one is more informativehttp://www.khandro.net/deities_tara1.htmKonchog1 wrote:The internet has a lot of good infoDistorted wrote:Thank You Konchog1, do you know of a good book I can read more of Tara?Konchog1 wrote:She's from the Vajra family.

When the opportunity to help others arises, do you think the enlightened sangha discriminate? Don't worry about it, the zen is working.A gadgud gompa devotee of Tara visited me in the hospital a few years after that LSD trip. That's when I learned she was real. I'm confused because I don't even practice tibetan Buddhism.

The strange thing is that red Tara keeps popping into my life. A gadgud gompa devotee of Tara visited me in the hospital a few years after that LSD trip. That's when I learned she was real. I'm confused because I don't even practice tibetan Buddhism.

That's because their writing is both profound and lucid, easy to understand, and it seems they actually guide you through the practice / visualization itself along with advice for setting up the shrine, etc.. the essential practical things you need and direct from realized masters. . .you can't go wrong.
