The secret words of the Joy Mantra on “dalieh du dalieh dulieh souha“ is the Green Tara mantra of Tibetan Buddhism sung by Chinese artist Su Ching-yen. In Tibet “Om Tare Tuttare Ture Soha“ In Sanskrit “Oṃ Tāre Tuttāre Ture Svāhā“ Tibetan culture, and some others, green is considered to include all the other colors. The practice of Green Tara helps to overcome fear and anxiety, but devotees also believe that she can grant wishes, eliminate suffering of all kinds and bring happiness. When called upon, she instantaneously saves us from eight specific calamities. (Another lineage describes 16.) The First Dalai Lama lists the 8, and interprets them as representative of corresponding defects, flaws, or obscurations: 1) lions and pride 2) wild elephants and delusions 3) forest fires and hatred 4) snakes and envy 5) robbers and fanatical views 6) prisons and avarice 7) floods and lust 8) demons and doubt
