These days, my nose has been stuck in Thubten Chodron’s great book, How to Free Your Mind: Tara the Liberator
With the credentials of winning “The Best Spiritual Books of 2005″ award from Spirituality & Health (June 2006 issue), this book is easy to read and is a great introduction to one of the venerable Buddhist deities.
In speaking about Tara, Thubten Chodron writes: “Her image acts as a mirror for us to examine ourselves and to contemplate how we can approach others with an open hand and kind heart. What attitudes and emotions do we need to develop so that we will have a more open attitude toward others and can approach them with more acceptance, respect, and affection? What are some small things that we can do in our lives that would indicate these attitudes and emotions?”
