Noble Lady Tara Nyurma Pamo
liberator, swift one, heroine
Homage, Tara, quick one,
Heroine whose eyes flash like lightening,
Born from the opening corolla of the lotus face
Of the lord of the triple world.
Heroine whose eyes flash like lightening,
Born from the opening corolla of the lotus face
Of the lord of the triple world.
This verse praises Tara's wisdom, her heroic courage and commitment to the liberation of all beings, and highlights her swiftness.
As I've meditated with this concept this week, I have been touched by how simple it is to choose compassion in each moment. It's simple, but not always easy. Repeatedly I have noticed judgments come up that cause constriction in me, and as I notice the judgment, I breathe deeply, chant Tara's mantra, and remember to open my heart in compassion. I've noticed how compassion is a choice, and that it can be chosen in a second, causing a swift shift from judgment into compassion.
The two biggest lessons I have learned so far this week are:
1. How immediately the shift can occur.
2. How it does require courage and commitment to live in love and compassion, all of the time, in every situation.
The more I've practiced, the easier and faster it's become. I am finding living from a place of compassion to be really sweet, peaceful, and soft. I feel gentle, relaxed, and filled with joy.
