This sadhana is unique to the tradition of the “Kadampas”, the most revered practitioners following in the footsteps of the 10th century saint, Lama Atisha. It includes a self-generation into the aspect of Green Tara with offerings and mantra recitation with both the short and long mantras of Tara. It also includes the Twenty-one Praises to Tara and a unique front generation in which the disciple receives the transmission blessing of the practice from a teacher, whether actually present or visualized. This sadhana is one of the practices used for the “Kadampa Deities Retreat” with Lama Zopa Rinpoche at Vajrayogini Institute, France in April/May 2003.Without empowerment, one can do the practice without doing the self-generation, but rather visualizing Tara at the crown.
