Realize the power of Tara, the Buddhist goddess of compassion, within yourself in this modern guide to her 21 forms.

Explore down-to-earth meditations and stories of real women who embody Tara's qualities.

Tara, the Buddhist goddess of compassion, can manifest within all of us. In this illustrated introduction to Tara's twenty-one forms, respected female Buddhist teacher and practitioner Dorje Lopön Chandra Easton shows you how to invite Tara’s awakened energy to come alive in yourself through: 

• insight into core Buddhist concepts and teachings;
• meditations;
• mantra recitations; and
• journal exercises.

The relatable stories from Buddhist history and the author’s personal reflections will give you the tools to live a more compassionate life, befriend your fears, and overcome everyday challenges.  

Find out how important women and movements in modern history have achieved this through their own embodiment of Tara's enlightened activities. The stories of Jane Goodall, Nawal El Saadawi, Oprah Winfrey, Vandana Shiva, Black Lives Matter, Me Too, and others will inspire you to bring these aspects of Tara into the world in creative and socially conscious ways for the benefit of all.“Chandra Easton has not only opened awareness of the diverse aspects and activities of the twenty-one manifestations of the sacred feminine in her brilliant book but brought them into the contemporary context by connecting each with a related woman and her multiple aspects. Though many are aware of Tara as the embodiment of wisdom and compassion in a female form, few know about the twenty-one Taras. This book brings them all alive, making them an accessible and inspiring presence in our lives.”
