Tara puja is a regular practice at Kadampa Buddhist centers around the world.

Tara is a female Buddha who represents the ultimate wisdom of all the Buddhas.

The puja includes a special prayer called "Praises to the Twenty-one Taras" that was composed by Buddha

Prayers are recited six times over 24-hours, with the praises to the 21 Taras recited seven times in each session.

Sessions take place every 4 hours for 24 hours. Each session takes roughly 1 hour.
Prayers: Liberation from Sorrow (ebook available here).
