Kurukulla Red Tara Visualization and 108 Mantra Female Buddha Vajrayana Buddhism

Spread the Dharma — Buddha Weekly

Over the centuries, Vajrayana Buddhists journeyed, in their minds, to visit dazzling pure lands, filled with wondrous Enlightened Beings. Imagine, now, closing your eyes to meditate on Emptiness, and glimpsing none other than Red Tara in her form as Kurukulla. Kurukulla, the powerful manifestation of Buddha in a Female Buddha form — Red Tara, the magnetizing Buddha of Magic and Wonder and Metta.

Join our editor Lee Kane, as he imagines meeting magical Kurukulla with a visualization and ending in her mantra 108 times.
...
Her name is Kurukulla. She is also Red Tara. She is equally all Taras. She is also all Buddhas at once. She is also magic personified. She knows we all need a little magic in our lives, so she dances into our meditation in the form of the dancing magician. She does this because she knows life becomes too dry and numbing in the absence of joy and magic. This is, in part, her mission. She returns us to the euphoric joy of Buddha's Dharma. For today, we can put aside our mindfulness practice, and focus on the magic of her appearance. We can return to wonder.
