Recitation Meditations

In 1992, Rinpoche manifested his very close connection to the female buddha aspect, Tārā, by summarizing into verse the explanations from Jonang Tāranātha's The Origin of the Tārā Tantra.

This resulted in a composition called Summary of the History of Tārā and Summary of the Way Tārā Protects from the Sixteen Kinds of Fear,   སྒྲོལ་མའི་བྱུང་ཁུངས་མདོར་བསྡུས།   འཇིགས་པ་བཅུ་དྲུག་ལས་བསྐྱབས་ཚུལ་མདོར་བསྡུས་བཅས་བཞུགས་སོ༎

These verses are a དགོངས་གཏེར་, a "mind treasure", which means that they are a direct transference of blessing from Tārā herself to Rinpoche's enlightened mind.

Here, you will find teachings from Bouddha, January 1992, Pullahari 1998, Buenos Aires, July 1999, and Athens, 18 October 2001.

There is also a video with the Losar Celebrations held at Pullahari 27 February 1998.
