21 Tārās for the 21st Century – Year Long Course
In this course, Lopön Chandra Easton, Buddhist teacher, scholar, and Tārā Mandala’s Assistant Spiritual Director, reveals the 21 aspects of Tārā, the female Buddha of Compassion. Tārā is also an archetypal representation of the human qualities and skillful means we all have within us, including but not limited to, deep compassion.
You will explore the universal aspects of the empowered feminine in her many diverse forms that support us in befriending our fears and overcoming the very real human challenges we meet in our daily lives. Through powerful and inspiring stories about real women, both historic and modern, Buddhist and non-Buddhist, you will gain knowledge and personal experience about the myriad qualities of these 21 Tārās.
During this second Part of a two-part program you will be introduced to the 13th to the 21st Tārās. If you missed Part I, sign up for the Complete package, which includes audio and video recordings of Part I and the live Part II which begins on September 8th.
