白救度佛母讚

– Homage to the Supreme Holy Saviouress Buddha-Mother

– Oṃ (Omï) Saviouress, Tārā who liberates from saṃsāra (Samïskara Tāre — Mother who delivers from the round of rebirth)

By Tuttāre may the eight perils be overcome.

From all sickness and sins, Ture (Tūre) delivers.

Before the Saviouress Mother, I offer reverent praise and homage.

– In the very center, upon a lotus of pure White,

There is arrayed a throne of the Moon-Disc.

Upon that throne appears the Vajra Yoginī (Vajrayoginī).

Before the Mother who Grants Vows, I bow with utmost reverence.

– Her face is like the radiance of the Autumn Moon;

The body of the Buddha-Mother resembles a luminous orb of light.

Every adornment is present and complete.

Before the One who holds the flower (Utpala — the sky-blue lotus), I pray to offer homage.

– Complete in form and feature like one sixteen years of age,

All the Fully Awakened Ones are Her children.

She takes it upon Herself to bestow according to one's wishes.

I offer homage before the Saviouress Buddha-Mother.

– A pure White Disc radiates white light;

Upon its eight spokes appear eight syllables.

All together turn with the form of revolving.

Facing the One Endowed with the Wheel, I bow with utmost reverence.

– All buddha-fields (realms, lands) are perfectly pure;

Within them are scattered abundant jewelled flowers.

Born as the Mother of the Buddhas of the three times,

Before that Honoured Mother, I bow with utmost reverence.

– Holy Mother, Delivering Mother, Saviouress Mother,

Mother who Increases Lifespan, Wish-Fulfilling Wheel.

Before the Honoured Buddha-Mother I pray and implore:

Cause to dissolve the Māra that afflicts my lifespan.

– From sickness and from all perils and sufferings,

I beseech Your protection and aid for me.

The Attainments, both Supreme and Common,

Bestow upon me without remainder.

– Before the Honoured Holy Mother, I offer devout homage.

May You ever keep me in mind as a mother her infant child.

Before the Honoured One I also fervently implore:

I pray that You ever hold the Hook of Loving-Kindness (the hook of Compassion).

– The supreme body of the Buddha-Mother is like the light of the moon,

Graceful, gentle, and good, with form upright and majestic.

Her marvellous features are adorned with many precious things,

And of fine silk and gauze are fashioned Her robes and garments.

– Upon a jewelled throne, the moon-disc and the lotus,

With both legs She sits in the Vajra cross-legged posture.

One face, two hands, with a joyful countenance,

Born as the Mother of the Buddhas of the three times.

– Before the Honoured Buddha-Mother I ever kneel and bow.

Now, before the Honoured One, with marvellous praise,

I pray that You aid us in our cultivation of the Path:

From now until Bodhi is attained,

Dispel every adverse condition therein.

May we be fully endowed with Favourable conditions.

"Oṃ — tāre, tuttāre, ture, mama, āyuḥ-puṇye jñāna-puṣṭiṃ kuru, svāhā."

– The White Tārā Mantra:

OMÏ — TĀRE TUTTĀRE TURE — ĀYUHÏ PUNÏYE JNÕĀNA PUSÏTÏIMÏ KURU — SVĀHĀ.

PRAISE TO THE WHITE SAVIOURESS BUDDHA-MOTHER (End)
