Red Tara: Tib. སྒྲོལ་མ་དམར་མོ་ Drolma Marmo, belongs to the padma (lotus) family of deities who are associated with enlightened speech and the color red. Tara is ruby red, seated wearing jeweled ornaments, holding a longevity vase and a lotus on which rests a bow and arrow made of flowers. Red Tara has the magnetizing qualities to swiftly bring beings to the state of enlightenment. Chagdud Tulku Rinpoche practiced and propagated the Red Tara practice revealed by Apong Terton (20th Century). This Apong Terton Red Tara practice is upheld by many sanghas in the West.
Mantra: Skt. mantra; Tib. སྔགས་, ngag, are sacred syllables used in Vajrayana practice to protect the minds of practitioners from negativity and ordinary impure perceptions. They also serve to invoke the yidam deities and their retinues.
