“Green Tara embodies the activity of all buddhas. Her special quality is protection from the eight terrors (drolma jigpa gyay gyob). After his death, Dudjom Lingpa appeared to his son, Ter-say Dorje Dradul, in a vision and gave him this Green Tara practice. It is extremely profound and powerful yet very easy to practice and accumulate. It offers protection from all of our fear and suffering, whether immediate or long-term. Kyabje Dudjom Rinpoche always did this practice and very often gave it to his monastery and Drubdra retreatants as well as to many other students, so I thought it would be very special for us to do.” – Lama Tharchin Rinpoche
