The radiant Goddess is above us
Pouring her light upon us
We prepare
We turn to enter her mandala
The ordinary world falls away
Out of the sea of becoming
Tara's pure land arises
There is beauty everywhere.
Birds singing, flowers blooming
Waterfalls dancing down the hills
We are walking a golden spiral
We enter a jeweled palace
We bow to purify arrogance,
Our arrogance and the arrogance of the world
We offer to purify greed,
Our greed and the greed of the world
We reveal all negativities,
To purify anger, hatred and war
We rejoice to purify jealousy
We request teachings to purify ignorance,
Our ignorance and the ignorance of the world
Teachers please stay, purify our connection
Whatever power we generate through this practice
May it be for the benefit of all
And as the last veil of spiritual pride falls away
We reveal the mind's radiance
As the Goddess, Tara
