Tara The Feminine Divine

Rating:
Summary: A good book on a major Tibetan tradition
Review: A Buddhist practitioner's view of the great goddess of Tibet. Bokar Rinpoche draws a clear distinction between the western scholar's view of the practice of Tara, and his own - the Tantric meditator's outlook - which he defends with his customary compassion and insight. A valuable book for anyone interested in Tibetan deity practices, it suffers from an occasionally rocky translation from French and naive but by no means illegible book production.

Summary: Green Tara
Review: Tara the feminine devine by Bokar Rimpoche has greatly enhanced my devotional practice. He provides a clear translation of the 21 praises of Tara. He also explains many aspects of guru yoga and specifics of Tara practice in question and answer form.
