Tara Noble Lady Tara Yulle
Gyaljed, Victorious Over War and Other Obstacles with and without form.
This Tara’s name
Tara Yulle Gyaljed, means “Tara who gains victory over war”. She is renowned
for protecting against all the obstacles related with wars. She can reverse the march of armies or
stop the war completely.
Her protection also
applies inwardly, too, as she stops hostile emotions born of conceptual
thinking that disturb our awareness and wisdom and might lead us to warlike
actions.

Homage to the noble lady Tārā!

Homage to you, seated in a blazing halo
འབར་བའི་ཕྲེང་བའི་དབུས་ན་གནས་མ། །

Of all-consuming apocalyptic flames.
གཡས་བརྐྱང་གཡོན་བསྐུམ་ཀུན་ནས་བསྐོར་དགའི། །

Your right leg stretched out and left
bent inward,
དགྲ་ཡི་དཔུང་ནི་རྣམ་པར་འཇོམས་མ། །
dra yi pung ni nampar jom ma
Immersed in joy, you crush legions of
foes.
She is red in color
and dwells amidst garlands of wisdom fire swirling like the fire at the end of
an eon.
Her right leg is
stretched out and left leg is drawn in. Sparks of firefly from the prongs of
the vajra she brandishes, subduing all harmful enemies.
She comforts them
by gathering them under the vajra-tent that protects them from their own evil.
With every skillful means, she turns the wheel of dharma, according to the
disposition of the beings to be tamed.
She makes them
content and joyous, and subdues the malefic forces of the two obscurations. The
inner meaning is that this indicates the realization that “exhausts all
phenomena”.
Just as the fire at
the end of the eon consumes the world, when the primordial wisdom swirls in
dharmadhatu, the outer earth and stones, the inner animate body, and the secret
conceptions are also exhausted.
So the foes of the
two obscurations are subjugated, and the joy of the great tranquility of the
core of inner clarity of primordial wisdom that does not dwell in the extremes
of samsara and nirvana is experienced.
On the throne of a
lotus and moon, in the midst of blazing wisdom flames, appears Noble Lady Tara
Yulle Gyaljed, red in color, with one face and two arms. Her two legs are in
the dismounting posture. Her face has three eyes, and is half- peaceful
half-wrathful. Her right hand is in the mudra of supreme charity. Her left
hand, in the Three Jewels mudra, holds the stem of an utpala flower blooming at
her ear. On its pistil stands a vajra with its points open.
Light and sparkling
vajras radiate from it, annihilating the hosts of enemies and harm-doers.
Meditate that it returns back, surrounding your-self and all others 36 with an
indestructible protection tent, and recite the mantra.
