Red Tara – The Wish Fulfilling Tara
Red Tara is the manifestation of Tara expression of awareness of allphenomena. In Vajrayana Buddhism the practice of Red Tara is based on theritual called the Mandala of wish-fulfilling essence that focuses on turningmaterial desires into compassion and love. The ritual includes yoga, healingpractices and teachings on the nature of mind. The Red Tara empowerment ritualwas originated by Amitabha Buddha and passed to Avalokiteshvara, then to an emanationof Tara and the famous Indian master Nagarjuna that transmitted this teachingto Padmasambhava.
Guru Rinpoche left this knowledge to his consort Yeshe Tsogyal, andasked her to hide it as a treasure to be discovered at a later time, which itwould produce the most benefit. The teaching was discovered by lama Apong Terton,who lived in last century. Before his death the lama transmitted the ritual to amonk that promised to reveal it to the reincarnation of Apong Terton, SakyaTrizin.
