She is a female bodhisattva, buddha, and meditational deity who is often called the \u201cMother of all the Tath\u0101gatas.\u201d Tara is a compassionate and enlightened being embodying the qualities of wisdom, compassion, and fearlessness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:15px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>There are different forms of Tara, each associated with a specific color and other symbols. The primary form is Green Tara, representing swift and active compassion. Another familiar form is White Tara, representing peaceful compassion and long life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:15px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>In this teaching, which is offered here as a source of inspiration, protection, and assistance on the path to enlightenment, His Holiness describes the origins of Tara and her great deeds as a bodhisattva.

We hope it will inspire you in the pursuit of the great bodhisattva path.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:15px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Fuente<\/strong>: This teaching was obtained from Sakya Kalden Ling Youtube.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Whenever Tara is mentioned, we often conjure an image of a compassionate female deity, becoming a source of inspiration and refuge for sentient beings. However, our understanding of Tara&#8217;s true nature, the significance of her female manifestation, and her attainment of bodhisattva state is often limited.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Despite the perceived distance between us and Tara, His Holiness emphasizes that she serves as a crucial role model, especially for those navigating a busy modern life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In this teaching, His Holiness elucidates how to integrate Dharma knowledge and practice into our lives, aiming to ultimately achieve the enlightened state of Tara and all buddhas and bodhisattvas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>","protected":false},"featured_media":11915,"template":"single-archived-teaching.php","teaching_category":[47],"teaching_author":[283],"teaching_teacher":[284],"teaching_location":[145],"teaching_media":[96,99],"teaching_level":[103,101,102],"teaching_year":[168],"teaching_language":[195,223,176,203,225],"teaching_keywords":[219,214,218,198,280],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/sakyatradition.org\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/archived-teaching\/11907"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/sakyatradition.org\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/archived-teaching"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/sakyatradition.org\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/archived-teaching"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sakyatradition.org\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/11915"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/sakyatradition.org\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=11907"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"teaching_category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sakyatradition.org\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/teaching_category?post=11907"},{"taxonomy":"teaching_author","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sakyatradition.org\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/teaching_author?post=11907"},{"taxonomy":"teaching_teacher","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sakyatradition.org\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/teaching_teacher?post=11907"},{"taxonomy":"teaching_location","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sakyatradition.org\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/teaching_location?post=11907"},{"taxonomy":"teaching_media","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sakyatradition.org\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/teaching_media?post=11907"},{"taxonomy":"teaching_level","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sakyatradition.org\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/teaching_level?post=11907"},{"taxonomy":"teaching_year","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sakyatradition.org\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/teaching_year?post=11907"},{"taxonomy":"teaching_language","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sakyatradition.org\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/teaching_language?post=11907"},{"taxonomy":"teaching_keywords","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sakyatradition.org\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/teaching_keywords?post=11907"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
