Homage to Noble Tārā!

Tārā proclaimed The Dhāraṇī “Tārā’s Own Promise”:

tad yathā | oṁ tāre tārāyai hūṁ hūṁ hūṁ samaya­sthite bhara bhara sarvābharaṇa­vibhūṣite padme padme¹⁰ mahā­padmāsana­sthite hasa hasa trailokyavarade sarva­deva­dānava­pūjite smarāhi bhagavati tāre smarāhi bhagavatas¹¹ tathāgatasya purataḥ samayaṃ dhara dhara mahā­sattvāvalokite maṇi­kanaka­vicitrābharaṇe | oṁ vilokāya (insert name)¹² bhagavati¹³ tāre hrīṁ hrīṁ hrīṁ phaṭ svāhā |¹⁴

By merely recalling this dhāraṇī all dangers will be eliminated, all accomplishments will be attained, and all sentient beings will be brought under control. On the eighth or fifteenth day of the moon, make vast offerings to Noble Tārā and then recite this dhāraṇī until you perceive Tārā directly. Whatever you desire will be given to you, and all boons will be granted. If you are not given these things, I will have committed the five acts with immediate retribution; but otherwise, immeasurable benefits will come.
