________________________________________________
Green Tara is often called the Supreme Mother
She is seen as embodying the power of all Buddhas
manifested into the female; an all knowing fierce warrior and compassionate being ready
to step down from her lotus throne to offer comfort and protection from all of
the sufferings we experience in the world.
We call upon Green Tara in prayer or meditation and chant her mantra to help release fear, receive her protection, and to experience greater inner knowing and peace.

How to prepare for Metta Practice at home...
- Set aside uninterrupted time to focus on this metta practice and your self-healing.
- Allow enough time to settle in before practice begins.
- Have water or tea available for yourself.
- Choose an environment that is pleasant and comfortable to be in and has an area to sit and lie down—with blanket, eye pillow/cloth, yoga mat, floor cushions, a chair that reclines, or couch…whatever works for you.
- Set up a small table/alter or specific area where you can focus on spiritual object(s) meaningful to you.
- Include a statue or picture of Green Tara, if you have one.
- If you like, light a candle.
You can also use a small amount of incense, or diffuse some essential oil prior to our practice. - Don’t take notes—allow yourself to receive information through all your senses.
