Oṃ T�re Tutt�re Ture Sv�h� / Om Tare Tuttare Ture Svaha
Tara
(whose name means "star" or "she who ferries across") is a Bodhisattva
of compassion who manifests in female form. In Tibetan, Tara is known
as "Dölma" (Sgrol-ma), or "She Who Saves." In particular she represents
compassion in action, since she's in the process of stepping from her
lotus throne in order to help sentient beings.
Tara's mantra is a
loving play on her name. According to Sangharakshita, a traditional
explanation of the mantra is that the variations of her name represent
three progressive stages of salvation.
1. T�re represents
salvation from mundane dangers and suffering. Tara is seem as a
savioress who can give aid from material threats such as floods, crime,
wild animals, and traffic accidents.
2. Tutt�re represents
deliverance into the spiritual path conceived in terms of individual
salvation. In traditional terms, this is the path of the Arhant, which
leads to individual liberation from suffering. This is seen in Mahayana
Buddhism as a kind of enlightenment in which compassion does not figure
strongly.
3. Lastly, ture represents the culmination of the
spiritual path in terms of deliverance into the altruistic path of
universal salvation - the Bodhisattva path. In the Bodhisattva path we
aspire for personal enlightenment, but we also connect compassionately
with the sufferings of others, and strive to liberate them at the same
time as we seek enlightenment ourselves.
Svaha, according to
Monier Monier-William's Sanskrit Dictionary, means: "Hail!", "Hail to!"
or "May a blessing rest on!" Her mantra can therefore be rendered as
something like "OM! Hail to Tara (in her three roles as a savioress)!"
although this may one of those occasions when the mantra is best left
untranslated.
