OM SVABHAVA SHUDDHA SARVA DHARMA SVABHAVA SHUDDHA HAM
Nature empty, everything’s pure, naturally pure, that’s what I am.
Out of this sublime realm appears a white lotus and moon cushion. Upon that I
appear as a white TAM.
Light radiates from the TAM, making offerings to all enlightened beings, as well as
purifying all sentient beings and their environments. The light dissolves back and
I become Tara.
I sit on a lotus and moon cushion, a luminous moon halo at my back. Youthful and radiant, my
right hand gestures an invitation to liberation. My left hand, holding an utpala flower, indicates
the protection of the Three Jewels, giving courage and assurance to those dominated by fear.
At my crown is a white OM, at my throat a red AH, at my heart a white TAM marked by a blue
HUM.
OM AH
Inviting the wisdom beings and initiation TAM-HUM
Light radiates from my heart-syllable, inviting the wisdom beings and angelic
initiators. The wisdom beings unite inseparably with me. The angelic initiators confer abisheka. A
Buddha of Infinite Life adorns my crown.
Longevity meditation and mantra-recitation
Brilliant light radiates from the syllable TAM within my heart, collecting back the essence of
inexhaustible vitality and powerful blessings of body, speech, and mind.

Praise
OM, I and all prostrate to the liberator, the fully realized, transcended subduer.
I prostrate to the glorious mother who liberates with TARE
The mother who eliminates all fears with TUTTARE
The mother who grants all success with TURE
To SOHA and the other syllables we offer the greatest homage.
Dedication:
If foreseeing signs of premature death, may I clearly perceive Yi Zhin Khorlo and achieve the
realization of deathlessness.
By this virtue may I quickly attain the essence of Noble Tara
and secure every being without exception in that state.
