Tara, Giver of Joy and Peace
Tara
Mothers pray to you
and children pray to you
Merchants pray to you
and travelers pray to you
Doctors, and lawyers and judges pray to you
the innocent pray to you
and the guilty pray to you
Students and scholars pray to you
Artists pray to you
the dull and the brilliant pray to you,
the humble and the proud
married people pray to you
and single people pray to you
those who are sick
and those who are healthy pray to you
healers pray to you
and those with a loved one in need
pray to you
kings and street sweepers pray to you
the living and the dying pray to you
the wealthy and the destitute pray to you
the young and the old,
the high and the low
all reach out their hands to you
all turn to you,
as their closest protector, guide and refuge,
as their benefactress in times of need,
and they turn to you in gratitude
as their patroness in times of success
All these prayers you hear
and you respond in visible and in invisible ways -
ways beyond the scope of ordinary conception
Although you are the most exalted one,
we run to you in total trust and confidence
like a child to a parent
going with total trust,
like a favored one
into the presence of an enlightened ruler
we go to you,
and rest
we are sheltered by you
cared for
and protected
And though your name can be said simply
and your divine qualities can be so easily known,
the depth of your wisdom, compassion, and activity,
is such
that lifetimes of study and practice,
until we ourselves become more like you,
are just a beginning, in truth
and so our everyday appeals
are for more simple things
we ask:
O Tara, Joy of the World,
let your presence be more fully known by us
clear away whatever obstacles there may be
and let the light, comfort and inspiration that you are
be known ever more fully by us now
pacify suffering conditions
and help us to live well
encourage us to outdo
what we thought was possible before
stabilize whatever we have now
of health, virtue,
wisdom and good fortune,
and increase, to meet our needs,
whatever we may lack
O Glorious Tara,
hope of the world,
to you we all pray,
May your blessings be upon us all,
so that we can, each one of us, achieve our aims,
and peace,
and fulfillment
