Noble Tara Prayer by Ratna Lingpa

Khenpo Sherab Sangpo, a professor of Tibetan Buddhism in the Nyingma Lineage (bodhicittasangha.org), offers a teaching on the "Aspiration Prayer from The Wish-Fulfilling Jewel: A Sādhana of Yeshe Tsogyal as Noble Tārā" by Ratna Lingpa.

Ratna Lingpa was born in 1403, in Tibet. He was said to have been an incarnation of Langdro Konchok Jungne, one of the twenty-five disciples of Padmasambhava. A child prodigy, Ratna Lingpa learned reading and writing effortlessly and had numerous pure visions, starting from the age of ten. According to tradition, when Ratna Lingpa was twenty-seven, he experienced a vision of Padmasambhava in the form of a yōgin dressed in yellow raw silk. He showed him three scrolls, a white, a red and a blue one, and asked Ratna Lingpa to choose one of them. Ratna Lingpa answered that he wanted all three. Because of the auspicious connection created by his answer, Ratna Lingpa received all three inventories, and was able to reveal in a single lifetime the termas he would have otherwise revealed in three successive lifetimes. This prayer to Noble Tārā was one of his terma (treasure) revelations. Khenpo Sherab Sangpo decided to teach this prayer as a way of saying thank you to Noble Tārā for all of the protection she has provided us as a meditation community and to all living beings in our world during the pandemic.
