Supplicating Tara at Saga Dawa Düchen

Siddhartha’s Intent Canada is pleased to host a virtual recitation of praises and prayers to the Mother of all Buddhas – Tara, with contemplation on sutra quotes from 84000: Translating the Words of the Buddha.

Saga Dawa Düchen is one of the four Buddhist festivals commemorating the life of the Buddha. This day celebrates Buddha Shakyamuni’s enlightenment and parinirvana.

On this auspicious day, we will gather virtually to supplicate Tara through praises and prayers drawn from the sutras translated by the 84000 project. On the occasion of the 25th anniversary of Khyentse Foundation, and in light of the recent teachings from Dzongsar Khyentse Rinpoche on Tara, it will be timely and appropriate to invoke her protection for our community and the world at large. We will conclude with some guided contemplation on sutra quotes curated by the 84000 team and with aspiration prayers.

The prayers will be recited primarily in English with some Chinese translation where available. The text will be shared on screen. You can also download your own copy here in English or Chinese: https://siddharthasintent.org/events/supplicating-tara-at-saga-dawa-duchen/

Please join us in supplicating Tara to create positive conditions for the world and promote peace, harmony, and understanding.

Khyentse Vision Project and Khyentse Foundation are delighted to invite you to a very special event on 10 May 2026, International Mother's Day, with Dzongsar Jamyang Khyentse Rinpoche, who will give a teaching on Ārya Tārā, the mother of all buddhas. This occasion celebrates the 25th anniversary of Khyentse Foundation and is part of KVP’s Text of the Month initiative.

📆 10 May 2026
🕤 22:30 Vancouver (-1 day) | 07:30 Paris | 11:00 Delhi | 13:30 HK | 15:30 Sydney

Khyentse Foundation has been under Ārya Tārā's care since its inception. In celebration of this enduring connection, KVP has created a special compilation of Tārā texts by Jamyang Khyentse Wangpo. These prayers, practices, and supplications reveal Khyentse Wangpo's profound devotion to Tārā and his frequent visionary encounters with the deity. The collection includes practices of both Green and White Tārā, along with instructions for invoking her swift activity, protection, and blessings.

Rinpoche will use these precious texts as a basis to show how we can connect with Tārā's compassionate activity in our own practice. May Tārā continue to protect and inspire us, so that the Dharma may benefit countless beings for generations to come!
