Liberation from Fear

In an increasingly uncertain and dangerous world, fear is becoming more and more common. Whether it is an understandable fear of real dangers, or an nameless dread lurking in the back of our mind, fear is an extremely unpleasant emotion. There are many methods taught in Buddhism for freeing ourselves from fear, including meditation and insight into the root causes of fear. But one of the quickest, easiest and most powerful ways to become fearless is to develop a strong connection with Buddha Tara. As a fully enlightened being, Tara herself has gone beyond all fear, and by blessing us with wisdom and spiritual power she can dispel our fear. Tara is the wisdom and compassion of all Buddhas arisen in a female form. She is like our Holy Mother who swiftly helps and protects us from inner and outer danger.
