Retreats offer the benefit of getting away from the stresses and strains of everyday life by providing a space in which to return a sense of self, calm, and normality. If an individual wishes to become more knowledgeable on Green Tara or Vajrayogini practice, then you are most welcome to join us on our retreat. There are multiple benefits that can be realized by engaging in group retreat, with the most obvious benefit of having dharma brothers & sisters to have generous sharing of knowledge and experience, to help and provide encouragement as well.

GREEN TARA:

Tara is a fully enlightened Buddha, her enlightened activities are numerous and powerful beyond comprehension. At a relative level, she is associated with conferring blessings of obstacle-clearing, longevity, prosperity, protection and so forth. At an ultimate level, she confers all the wisdoms for the realization of the ultimate state of Buddhahood. There are many aspects of Tara, of which the 21-Tara emanations perform different activities and confer swift blessings of health, prosperity, success and power and so forth. Tara’s colour also corresponds to each enlightened activity as mentioned above - White Tara for pacifying; Yellow Tara for increasing; Red Tara for subjugating; and Green Tara for wrathful activity.

During the dharma degenerating times, where the occurrence of various diseases and natural disasters begins to frequent, the Green Tara practice is most beneficial for all sentient beings. The Green Tara practice can help sentient beings avoid and avert such calamities and overcome these obstacles, and is the most effective practice for all during this time.

Green Tara is a very swift and powerful deity of activity who clears our obstacles, and helps us successfully accomplish both temporal and ultimate happiness. By engaging in her practice, one will be able to dispel black magic, charms, & disturbances from the formless as well as prevent diseases and harm to oneself. It can also boost one’s spiritual growth & other aspects – career & academic studies.

When we are young we turn to our worldly mother for help. She protects us from immediate dangers, provides us with all our temporal needs, and guides and encourages us in our learning and personal development. In the same way, during our spiritual growth we need to turn to our Holy Mother, Tara, for refuge. She protects us from all internal and external dangers, she provides us with all the necessary conditions for our spiritual training, and she guides us and inspires us with her blessings as we progress along the spiritual path. If we rely upon Mother Tara sincerely and with strong faith she will protect us from all obstacles and fulfill all our wishes.
