Are you looking for a truly transformative focus for Lent? What if I told you Tara, the female Buddha, is the perfect guide for you this Lent?
The book Tara – the Liberating Power of the Female Buddha: 22 Meditations to Heal Ourselves and Repair Our World by Rachel Wooten, is the book I'm reading and recommending this Lenten season. Tara will help you to prioritize yourself and your spiritual practice time, and heal the things that make you put yourself last.
In this episode, I share the miraculous story of Tara, who was told she could not be enlightened in a female body, and who swore she would not only do so but would work to help all beings become enlightened!
This miraculous book illustrates the 21 aspects or manifestations of Tara, each of which has a focus to help empower you to overcome inner obstacles to enlightenment.
I know this book will be an invaluable guide for you, whether during the Lenten season or anytime you read it.

Key Learnings:
1) As a young woman on the spiritual path, Tara caught the attention of other monks who were amazed at her spiritual stature. They urged her to transform into a man so she could become fully enlightened, not believing she could do so as a woman. She vowed right there to achieve enlightenment in a female body and to only be in a female body while she assisted all sentient beings achieve enlightenment.
2) There are 21 manifestations of Tara, all with a different color and gift to help you on your path of awakening. I read from chapter 13, The Red Burning Tara who fiercely protects your spiritual practice and supports you in prioritizing yourself!
3) The mantra for the Red Burning Tara is Om Tare Tuttare Ture Spho Traya Bas Min Kuru Soha! Here is the pronunciation – Ohm Tahray Tootahray Tooray Sfo Traiya Bahs Meen Kooroo Soha
"Because you are inseparable from the web of life around you, your inner work and self-care naturally contribute to the healing of the world." Rachel Wooten, Ph.D.
