Om tare tuttare
Ture
Swaha

OM represents Tara's sacred body, speech and mind
TARE = liberating from all discontent
TUTTARE = liberating from the eight fears, the external dangers,
but mainly from the internal dangers, the delusions
TURE = liberating from duality; it shows the true cessation of confusion
SWAHA = embodiment of happiness

An invocation to Tara, the female
counterpart of Avalokiteshvara,
the Bodhisattva of Compassion.
The Tara is pictured many-armed,
symbolizing the powers and
attributes she has cultivated
to save all sentient beings.
