Echoes Bouncing Off Echoes

The Condensed Prayer to the 21 Taras

OM JE TSUN P’HAG MA DROEL MA LA CHAG TSAL LO

OM: I pay homage to the Universally-Honored Noble Tara!

CHHAG TS’HAL DROEL MA TA RE PA MO

Prostrating to you, Tara, you are the heroine of TARE,

TUTTARA YIY JIG KUN SEL MA

Through TUTTARA, you are she who dispels all fears,

TU REY DON NAM T’HAM CHAY’ TER MA

Through TURE, you grant all benefits,

SVA HA YI GER CHAY LA RAB DUE’

To you with the syllables SVAHA, I bow!
