24-Hour Tara Puja for the Welfare of the World
Join us in this special method of Tara chanting to wrap the entire world in requests to Living Buddha Tara. We are gathering together across the globe to ask her to please take away the obstacles in this world and help everyone find the happy, meaningful life they long for. Whether you engage in all six sessions or just one, please join in. This will be so powerful in bringing about immediate practical benefit!
This puja is recited six times in the 24-hour period, with the Praises recited seven times in each session.
Sessions take place every 4 hours for 24 hours. Each session takes roughly 1 hour.
“In general, prayers made by an assembly of many practitioners are very powerful and cannot be compared to the prayers of one or two people. The scriptures give the analogy of a broom. If we try to clean a floor with a few bristles we shall make little progress, but if we gather many bristles to make a broom we shall be successful.”
– Venerable Geshe Kelsang Gyatso
