This practice strengthens and restores health and life-force energy.  \n\n\n\nBy relying on White Tara\, students are able to accumulate merit and purify negative karma in order to accomplish their aims.   \n\n\n\nOur beloved teacher\, H.E. Garchen Rinpoche\, holds White Tara close to his heart. \n\n\n\nText Downloads\n\n\n\n\nWhite Tara Sadhana\n\n\n\nDeity Yoga\n\n\n\nPrayers for Special Days\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nVideo Library\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nReturn to All Video Teachings Page\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nDonations Appreciated\n\n\n\n\nWe are only able to offer Dharma programs like this because of your kindness and generosity.Please know that your donation brings great benefit to the entire Sangha. Thank you!
