Om tare tuttare ture svaha at the Garden of 1000 Buddhas

Cooperation, today was about fluid cooperation. We all filled stupas, prepared Tara statues, and practiced together. Om tare tuttare ture svaha was repeated and repeated, and never eroded in its meaning. How appropriate that we would engage in Green Tara as she is also known as the Buddha of enlightened activity.

As afternoon faded into evening, we conducted a Tara practice with the warm sun bathing everything.
