The charming Utpala bouquet

  Commentary on the 21 praises to Tara Tara is considered the swift liberator who protects from fears and fulfills all desires. She embodies timeless awareness and the active aspect of compassion. At the center of Tara's practice are the praises of her 21 aspects, some of which are more peaceful, that is, with a kind of uncompromising compassion that fearlessly cuts through all obstacles and does not shrink from even the greatest difficulties. The 21 praises and the present commentary, translated from Tibetan into German, bluntly reflect exactly this power, which is not only inherent in the "Great Mother", as Tara is also called, but which everyone carries within himself and to which the Tara practice can open the access for us.
