Tara Zhen Migyalwai Pamo Invincible
Heroine, Destroying Criticism and Harm. Zhen Migyalwai name, roughly translated
means “invincible lady”. You can’t win against her. So, if you’re a mara, or
demon, better leave her alone! Or better yet, be nice to her. This Tara can also protect against
troublemakers, persons who criticize and harass others, and people who bring
lawsuits.

The eighth homage
is to the dark red frowning lady, Zhen Megyalwai Palmo, the “Invincible
Fearless Lady”. We praise the lady who averts criticism and other harms, which
are the source of humiliation caused by our afflictive emotion of pride.
Her hand implement
is a vajra. By reciting the mantra TURE, which means “Swift Lady”, another of
her names declaiming her swift compassionate action, she arises in wrathful
form from the tranquil dharmadhatu, and subjugates the demons difficult to
tame: the afflictions, the aggregates, the lord of death, and the maras.
She transforms her
blossoming lotus-like peaceful face into a wrathful, scowling face, and
destroys the evil mind of outer enemies.
She eliminates
those who hate and abuse the dharma and its upholders, those who cause
obstacles for practitioners, and those who harm sentient beings.
In reality, she
executes all foes without a trace: the afflictive obscurations that are the
foes of liberation, and the knowable obscurations that are the foes of
omniscience. The definitive meaning is that the base of the wrathful male and
female deities, (the serving faculties) are the pure abiding nature of the four
attributes of body, and the four classes of illusory conceptions.
They eliminate the
foes of omniscience: the knowable obscurations, and the foes of liberation: the
obscuration of afflictive emotions.
On a throne of a
lotus and moon appears Noble Lady Zhen Migyalwai Pamo. She is dark-red, with
one face and two arms.
She sits in the
dismounting posture. Her right hand is in the mudra of supreme charity. Her
left hand, in the Three Jewels mudra, holds an open utpala flower blooming at
her ear.
Above it is a
vajra, blazing with fire and sparks. Hot, jagged rays of light radiate from the
vajra, completely burning, scattering and destroying the demons and enemies of
disturbing emotions, those who make arguments, lawsuits and other troubles.
Meditate on this
and recite the TURE mantra.
