Protector
of the weak, Gentle protector of children, Sympathetic helper to mothers--
The poor call on you, the strong call on you, children call to you,
mothers call to you, women call to you,
Men call to you, the oppressed call to you, the sick call to you, merchants
call to you, farmers call to you,
Workers call to you, kings and ministers call to you--
Tara who is swift and courageous, Tara, lady of supreme peace, Tara,
golden lady of bounty,
Tara, victorious ornament of the Buddhas, Tara, who shakes the earth
with 'Hum',
Tara, tamer of elemental forms, Tara, dispeller of harmful magic, Tara
who aides us in accomplishment,
Tara who soothes every fear, Tara who tames demons and spirits, Tara
the giver of wealth and joy,
Tara who blesses our people and place, Tara who protects our name and
fame, Tara who turns evil omens away,
Tara who dissolves our past misdeeds, Tara who gives us knowledge and
wisdom,
Tara who pacifies all obstructors, Tara who saves us from poison and
ill,
Tara preventer of nightmares and quarrels, Tara who heals harms and
disease,
Glorious Tara, ablaze like the dawning or Tara who purifies all that
we do
Always watch over us, compassionately guide us, make us as wise and
as gentle as you! (Sherab)
