Webmaster and friend of Karma Samadhi Ling recently wrote an article for Northern Spirit House about our White Tara statue, titled “Ancient Threads, Modern Cloth.” You can read it by clicking here.

From the article:

My Invocation of White Tara

“White Tara, primordial wisdom from beginningless time, mother of all buddhas – this grove, in this forest, on this Cape Breton summer morning calls to you to come swiftly on the wind to the place prepared for you here. May this place where you are invited to dwell be flooded with the white light of your presence. May all beings who find this place be protected, healed, and blessed with long life. May all beings who find this place remember how to play. May all beings who find this place be enlightened. We of this grove consecrate this statue in this place to you, White Tara, and we call it holy.”

Sitting on the earth, I feel that everything exists. In this way, we could easily think of the earth as a goddess – a living, breathing, and constantly giving goddess. – The Gyalwang Karmapa, The Heart Is Noble: Changing the World from the Inside Out
