You can watch this Soundings Mindful Media Playlist for more Dalai Lama videos: #GreenTaraMantra #DalaiLama #WorldPeace #Compassion #FreeTibet ----------------------- This mantra (or at least most of it) has a literal meaning. Here are the meanings of the various parts of it: The syllable Om has no conceptual meaning, and is a sound representing the potential for awakening that resides in all living beings. (You can read more about Om on the page discussing the Om shanti shanti shanti mantra.) “Tare” is the vocative form of Tara, so it means “O Tara!” (The vocative form of a noun is where the person or thing is being addressed or called upon.) “Tu” is an exclamation that can mean “Pray! I beg! I entreat!” and so “tuttare” means something like “I pray to you, O Tara,” “I entreat you, O Tara,” or “I beg you, O Tara.” “Tura” is an adjective meaning “quick, willing, prompt.” As a noun, “tura would mean “swift one.” “Ture” would be the vocative form of the noun, and so “ture” would mean something like “O swift one!” Svāhā means: “Hail!”, “Hail to!” or “May a blessing rest on!” So the Green Tara mantra could be translated as “OM! O Tara! I entreat you, O Tara! O swift one! Hail!” Source: Soundings of the Planet Listen to Soundings of the Planet Artists on your favorite streaming service: PANDORA - Dean Evenson & Soundings Artists SPOTIFY - Dean Evenson & Soundings Artists APPLE MUSIC - Dean Evenson AMAZON - Dean Evenson and Soundings Artists FACEBOOK - Soundings of the Planet FACEBOOK - Dean Evenson INSTAGRAM - Dean Evenson INSTAGRAM - Soundings of the Planet
