There may be Tantric forms of Tara which require initiation, but the forms of Tara you find here are more generally Mahayana rather than Tantric, and no initiation is required.

Is there any need for initiation by any lama for practice of green or other tara mantras?

I want to tell you my story how I came across searching information on White Tara and mantra for her: I accidentally found the video file on the internet http://video.mail.ru/mail/solarbriz/1504/366.html. It is in Russian language. This documentary film says that the villagers in Altai (Ural Region of Russia) found bronze statuette of Goddess (they didn’t know at the time her name) on the street after they heard beautiful divine singing. The teacher of that village took statuette to her home. Once she was out of her house for 1 day, neighbor heard singing and laughing was happening in the house of the teacher while she was away. Then other night the teacher saw the women and she said that her name is White Tara. After that Buddhist monks and lamas visited the teacher and taught her mantras and how to pray to this Divine Deity.

The White Tara mantra is great, it can bring us out of emptiness and show us our true self further to purification rituals. There is a really good recorded version on Youtube that I use a lot as it is so beautiful.
Try putting it on your ipod and going to the beach or the park, or anywhere that is natural and light:) Many White Tara Blessings to you all:) PC

Hi Rita,

I’m puzzled. You ask — on a page that explains the meaning of the White Tara Mantra — what the White Tara Mantra means. Am I missing something?

Dear Bodhipaksa,
Having seen you are the blog “duty”, a very nice friend of mine chants White Tara MAntra and Jaya Bhagavan and he would like to know what they mean in English. Would it be possible, if you might translate them or give me a site where I could find them?
Thank you in advance.
