 | TWENTY - ONE VERSES OF PRAISE TO TARA This is 35th Visual Dharma, prepared at Vajra-Garuda e-Publications of the Buddha Dharma in 2005. In Nov. 2007 it is published on OpenBuddhistForum channel to benefit all beings. Reciting this mangificent Prayer and performing 21 prostrations brings great merit/pozitive energy, development of six perfections and qualities like fearlessness, courage etc.. Arya Tara has countless forms and emanations. In this Prayer we invoke actions of 21. principal forms of Arya Tara. Arya Tara, the mother of all Tathagatas is inspiration for many ancient and contemporary Buddhist Masters. In his Dharma work White Sail, Dungse Thinley Norbu Rinpoche writes in the Offering praise : "All beings, desperate orphans lost in samsara´s wilderness from lack of faith, are nurtured and enlivened by the vast panacea of the milk of your unconditioned love. You prayed and prayed to emanate in coutless feminine manifestations to create Triple Gem´s appearances for all beings, leading them to purelands beautified with unfading trees of turquoise leaves..." In August 1994 Her Eminence Jetsün Chimed Luding Rinpoche from Canada offered Initiations of 21 Arya Taras to many Atiyoga/Dzogchen parctitioners at Merigar Dzogchen Community in Italy. Her Initiations were according to the tradition of Master Atisha. Twenty-one Verses in Praise of Tara is recited also by many Tibetans. In this Visual Dharma we recite it in English which brings the same merit as reciting it in Tibetan (Om je-tsün-ma pag-ma drol-ma la chag tsal lo...). Arya Tara is guiding us on the supreme Path of Liberation, because her essence is Liberation. This Introduction is part of contemporary Buddhist Studies, performed at the International Institute for Contemporary Buddhist Studies of Buddha Dharma. Contemplating about the meaning of Dharma is tenth Dharmic Activity as taught by Buddha Padmasambhava. We invite all Buddhist scholars and translators to join the Institute , thus benefiting many beings.

 | WISH-GRANTING PRAYER OF SAMANTABHADRA -- part 2 WISH-GRANTING PRAYER OF SAMANTABHADRA -- part 2 -- (tib. Kunsang Gongpa Zhangtal). One should treasure this supreme Prayer as the wish-fulfilling jewel of one´s heart. As written in the colophon of the VISUAL DHARMA: this Buddhist Prayer has special meaning for beings living in third millenium - we are faced with climate clanges , storms, earthquakes, tsunami, loud noises (traffic in megacities, airplanes), mental and atmospheric pollution, geneticaly modified food!, pollution of earth through monocultures- greed of agriculture, mass killing of animals for food!, killing of humans in uncivilised wars, new kind of viruses (see excellent documentary of Al Gore: The inconvenient truth), allopatic medicine with unhealthy chemicals with strong side-effects, euthanasia being legally implemented in certain states, unjust social systems etc.. What we Buddhists have to offer to change the world ? Not only nice words about compassion , since we are not like those who speak what people wish to hear. As venerable Mipham Rinpoche said : „Nowdays if one speak the Truth there is nobody to listen. If one speak falsely everyone hold it to be true!" And Mipham Rinpoche said this in old Tibet , where he passed away in 1912. After 96 years His words are even more true. We Buddhist around the world offer regular recitation of Wish-granting Prayer of Buddha Samantabhadra for the liberation of all beings : To contribute to spiritual development of mankind , for world peace and for purification of our planet Earth. It is our wish that Kunsang Mönlam is translated into all languages and regularly recited in all languages. Those who wish to translate Wish-granting Prayer into their language should contact International Institute for Contemporary Buddhist Studies through e-mail. PRACTICAL INSTRUCTIONS: 1.

Visual Dharma Art is compassionate skillful means to help beings in third millenium, to accomplish inner peace of nirvana and to illuminate radiant wisdom spirit of our precious Buddha nature.
