She embodies a challenge-to transform our minds and become like her, whose tranquility, compassion, and wisdom make her so beautiful-but one that is profoundly nurturing.

Chodron describes a simple meditation on Tara, explaining its benefits and its application to daily life. She then presents two well-loved praises to Tara, together with reflections on their meanings for modern practitioners.
