Coming in the form of Tara collects from all the sources of fire, wherever it is existing in every universe and particularly fire that destroys the existence at the end of existence so from that source collect all the fire element energy in the form of bright orange-red colour, what normally they call Chinese red so that’s the bright orange-red in that form. It collects and dissolves to the Tara’s body and Tara in turn generating that great bright orange-red coming and reaching to us and rejuvenating the heat fire element within our body. 0:01:43.8 Chinese translation

Next is air. Air element in our body is the basis of circulation. Whatever the body circulations it is based on the air power and it is circulating so the lack of circulation will be one problem we get physically so we all know that. So perfect functioning of circulation needs perfect power of air. So this time, we make a strong request to Tara to bring a perfect air energy within us, particularly air not only the air energy itself, but the passages within our body where the air travels. Maybe some of the passages are blocked, some of the passages are not functioning at all and all of the has to be rejuvenated, recleared and air itself has to be totally refreshed, reenergised, so that it can function perfectly.

So the light goes from the body of Tara reach to the ten directions and collects all the circulation, air, movement power from the sources of all air in the world, particularly those of air that destroys whole universe existence at the end, from there to collect in the form of green colour light. ​​0:05:05.5 Chinese translation From the body of the Tara we get green light from her body and reaching our body and rejuvenating our air that is not properly circulating, not properly moving, everything, passage, everything cleared, fresh, wonderful, perfect air energy within us that circulates. Our circulation movement perfect level. 0:06:47.7 Chinese translation

And next will be the space. Space here means- you’ll be wondering what is space. If there is no space within ourself, all our internal organs will be touching each other, smashing each other so it has to be appropriately placed, appropriately functioning so you need space. And this space also cannot be blocked and has to be perfectly functioning. There is a space energy which always the first thing to affect anyway if it is contaminated. So that’s- and also without space, nothing can function. Nothing can be done. So that’s why the space energy is also so important and so radiating light from the Tara reaching to all the space power, it is unlimited space everywhere. So reaching to all that, collecting their energies in the form of blue light dissolving to the Tara and in turn, Tara dissolving that to us and rejuvenating our space completely. Space within our body sphere. 0:09:22.3 Chinese translation

Ok this is basically meditation for rejuvenation of the five elements and I’m not sure when I’ve been doing meditative way, I’m not sure whether I have communicated well with you or I don’t know if we are all on the same page or not, I’m not sure. So before I conclude that, I would like to give you opportunity, if you wanted, to have questions or something. Not long questions, questions stick to these particular points so if you have any questions you’re welcome. Things are not clear to you or misunderstand or you think he said it or you think he didn’t say it, whatever, it’s for you. 0:11:33.4 Chinese translation Any questions? Yes, Sabrina. Sabrina in Hindi means good dreams right? Chinese translation

Audience: Rimpoche, when I come here to receive this learning of Tara, in our practical world we are having people who are doing reiki, giving energy, wanting to ask for energy for people to heal. I am very new in Buddhism and study. I would like to know, is there a way that our Jewel Heart will enable some of us to come back to practice White Tara to reach out to the community? Thank you. 0:12:59.7 Chinese translation

Rimpoche: Thank you for asking that question. We do have Tara practice and Tara workshops and Tara things like that we do very much in the United States, in Europe, we do that a lot. But you know we begin to set up a study group here in Kuala Lumpur. We do have a group in Muar, been for awhile but here in Kuala Lumpur and I’m sure there is no difficulty to setting the Tara practice functioning regularly here and you do have those senior Jewel Heart members here and they’ll be very happy to guide on that. Also the booklet behind Tara box is really not a book, it’s a manual. It is a manual and originally it is not my intention of writing book like that. Originally, I wanted to make a very nice Tara book completely, one big one and a senior student of mine- we don’t call it student, I like to call it friend actually. Really the word student, disciple things, I’m not very happy with that, I’m not comfortable.

A senior friend, a brilliant woman, also editor, editor in all the theosophical society publications, edits, everything and she beens student for long time and one of those Tara workshops, not like today’s but a little bit more longer, probably like a weeklong Tara workshop. She had attended and she took note of all the teachings and she turned out the note and she’s editor, she deals with lot of publishers so she makes that into a publication and she made that into publication and she’s going to publish and the idea of Tara box is her and publisher’s idea. They came out and they showed me the copy and our program department people say ‘This is word to word of your transcript, she cannot publish’, they say ‘This is your work, why should she publish that?’ and that’s the thing they have and then they compromise and she’s very happy to put my name on it and that is how this Tara box came about.

And this is actually a manual for a regular practitioner friends on how to meditate and how to work and it’s manual. So it came out in that way. So that’s why this Tara box is came out in that manner actually. That doesn’t mean larger Tara book is not coming out. It’s going to come out but it’s coming out in Dutch not in English. Dutch first and but the basic work that we did is in English so it will publish first in Dutch and then in English. They don’t have to translate because basic work is done in English and then it’s going to be published in Dutch, in Netherlands. So they’ll be done and the work, I’m sure the Tara practice work will definitely be without any difficulty you can have it, maybe once two or three months time or maybe once a month or whatever and this I tell you, this is extremely helpful. This is not a joke. This is practically very, very helpful. Not only to myself, not only to the lineages of this but also the people who are following. It is extremely helpful. People may think it works within Tibetans, what about others? And I tell you it works Caucasians, it works with Africans and it definitely works with Chinese, no doubt about it. 0:19:23.8 Chinese translation

Thank you. And it works you know in Holland, we had a friend, a medical doctor, name was Dr Yat. She is huge, she has the viking blood so she’s tall as well as she’s not only tall, she’s also- she’s tall in both sides. [Laughter] Vertical as well as horizontal and she’s a medical doctor. It’s funny, she suddenly got very sick and they discovered she had very late stage, absolutely late stage of cancer. They open her up and they have to close her back because it spread all over the place. So she herself is doctor so they just told her ‘We have to stitch you back’ so she asked ‘What’s the prognosis?’, says ‘You’re doctor’ so she says ‘Three days’, the other doctor says ‘Maybe even less’. So at that stage, so she practiced this White Tara and so thereafter, she lived five long years of healthy life, not working as a doctor but doing everything; doing gardening, doing everything, you know going shopping, gardening, driving car.

I think on the fourth year when I went to Holland, she drove all the way to Paris and bought a beautiful tablecloth from the Tiffany, a beautiful tablecloth, green and give me as gift. I didn’t pay much attention, I thought it’s a tablecloth and took it back to Ann Arbor and first night when I was there, we put on the table, we have some Tibetans living with us, they made momo and tablecloth is gone. The momo juices come all over the place. Later I came to know that tablecloth costs about 700-800 US dollars but then it is already gone. So that she could do, it’s all because of this Tara. No pain until the last day. And so all this and this really works. This is not only one example, there are plenty of them. So there are a lot of them. That doesn’t mean no one’s going to die, they will die, we all will die. She also only survived five years thereafter, nothing more but five long years. 0:25:54.3 Chinese translation 0:28:00.8 [inaudible] the momo is close to the xiao long bao or the szechuan [inaudible].

Anyway, just joke. And then in that five years, she could also do a lot of Dharma practice. I think the third year or something, when I went to Holland, she said she fainted, she thought it’s like me dying she said ‘I can’t think of anything Dharma or anything except refuge’ so I said ‘You’re lucky you can think of refuge, you can think of Buddha, that itself is a great achievement’ because she thinks she has to be meditating on some big procedure or something, she said ‘I can’t think of anything except refuge’ so I thought that is a great achievement. Also she could do a lot of practice and achieve those things in that 5 years and also sort of reconnected with bad relations that she had with her own children and the parents, all restored. Everybody’s happy at the time when she’s passing through. So it does work. 0:29:42.7 Chinese translation

So let us do now a little practice together. This time, we’re going to combine all the healing of earth, water, fire and air and space combined together. So let us now go back to the meditation. Visualise Tara right in front of us, our own Tara. It is your own Tara, my Tara. Tara that we created, Tara that we made for me, by me and that Tara became reality of all enlightened beings in general and particularly, my own spiritual master. 0:31:57.9 Chinese translation We strongly urge and pray to Tara to give us the healing of five elements within ourself and even our near ones, dear ones, loved ones in front of us and seeking the healing of all five elements by strongly focusing and chanting the Tara mantra. Chinese translation With this thought, we’ll request A Seet to chant Tara mantra, this is only requesting, strong requesting, round about 20 or so. 0:33:43.2 Chinese translation

[OM TARE TUTTARE TURE SOHA chant]

Because of that strong application with mantra, we draw the attention of Tara. Tara generates light from her body, reach to the ten directions. Blessings of the buddhas and bodhisattvas plus the powers of elements, that of earth, water, fire, air and space energies from their natural sources in their own original colour. Thus, we will see the rainbow coloured light collecting all energies to the body of Tara and Tara in turn, gives us the blessing in the form of light. By reaching the light to our body, all our elements been completely rejuvenated and revitalised and that will be our visualisation with more after the translation, with more mantra chant and visualise there. 0:38:29.3 Chinese translation

Ok so that is about healing the five elements. Now the next will be surrounding yourself with Tara protection and that we shift to page 52 but I basically talk to you a little bit. I think we have to do the work in the afternoon but what basically it is is radiating a light shield from the body of Tara and protecting ourself and the loved ones, whatever we need to protect and putting the shield that’s coming out of Tara’s body. That’s what we’re supposed to do and when we come back and we will do this. And then I need a couple of volunteers to help me to put some pills into a plastic bag so I don’t need too many, I do need some volunteers maybe about 10 people and we do need about ten spoons and we have to somehow beg, borrow or steal from the hotel but if we return it back it will be alright and so that’s what I’m supposed to do during this lunch break. 0:44:15.8 Chinese translation So I think if Jaya is free, I would like Jaya to be in charge but if she’s not free, Lodro can do it.
