White represents the enlightened activity of pacifying, for example overcoming sickness, causes of untimely death and obstacles to success in one's life or one's practice. Yellow represents the enlightened activity of increasing the positive qualities conducive to a long life, peace, happiness and success in one's Dharma practice. Red represents the enlightened activity of power, or overpowering external forces that cannot be tamed through the first two activities, for example, removing obstacles to sickness, untimely death, etc., and forcefully accumulating conducive conditions for one's Dharma practice. Black represents the enlightened activity of wrath, which involves using forceful methods for accomplishing activities for enlightened purposes that cannot be accomplished through other means." Then, out of Chenrezigs compassion, two tears appeared and one tear became Green Tara and the other tear became White Tara, as emanations to help Chenrezig to accomplish his commitment very swiftly, very fast, basically. You generally say that Taras activities are connected to Chenrezig. This is a story about that. There is another legend actually, that says that Tara was a princess many millions of years ago, kalpas ago. During the time of a Buddha called Amogasiddhi there was a princess called Yeshe Dawa. She became a bodhisattva, because she had a very courageous nature, she was strong, fearless and committed and she made a commitment that from now onwards our work becoming so powerful and highly attained, that I can help hundred thousand beings every day. Her confidence was so strong that she felt she could do that much. She did not want to do just a little bit, she wanted to do really a lot, the strength of her courage was so big that she thought she can do more than normally, more than just being a nice kind lady, she can actually work very courageously and strongly and help that many beings every day. Because of this strong conviction, courage and fearlessness, she became an enlightened bodhisattva. Whatever she did, everything had a strong effect of helping and benefiting others and she attained different bhumis. When she became enlightened she dedicated all her positive actions saying whoever is connected to me in any way, may they be able to have very swift progress, may they have swift benefit, may my swift actions effect them.This text is a terma. It was found by Chgyur Lingpa. It is said that there were 108 individuals who were said to be great tertons (terchen), and Chgyur Lingpa was one of them and he discovered this practice. Its called a gomter, mind terma, it is said that it appeared when he was staying in a cave called Pema Shelphuk, the Crystal Cave of Pema, and he had a vision of Tara, and Tara said to him: Lekso, lekso, lekso. Three times she uttered this, which means very good, excellent, very good. He had this vision of her saying that, and then in his mind appeared this terma, which he passed on to Jamgon Kongtrul, who then formed it, he wrote the actual sadhana.

The Condensed Praise to the 21 TarasOM to the transcendent subduer, Arya Tara, I prostrate. Homage to the glorious one who frees with TARE; With TUTTARA you calm all fears; You bestow all success with TURE; To the sound SOHA I pay great homage.

The main (green) Tara is seated upon a lotus arising from the waters of a lake, just as Tara is said to have arisen from the compassionate tears of Avalokiteshvara. Her right hand is in the mudra of supreme generosity indicating her ability to provide beings with whatever they desire. Her left hand at her heart is in the mudra of bestowing refugein her black hair is adorned with jewels, the central one is a red ruby symbolic of Amitabha, her spiritual father and the head of her Buddha family.her right leg extended to show that she is always ready to arise and come to the aid of those who need her help.With a warm compassionate gaze she looks down upon each sentient being as a mother regards her only child. Her emerald-green color related to the wind element and hence to movement signifies her ability to act swiftly and without delay to bring benefits to sentient beings.

surrounded on all sides by countless hosts of Buddhas, Bodhisattvas, high patron deities, dakinis, and protectors of the Law.
