马来西亚雪隆绿度母烟供团协会成立于2020年4月2日 (注册编号：PPM-002-10-02042020)。本协会成立的宗旨是通过一系列的慈善活动来回馈社会，以表示我们对大众的关怀与友爱。

 

绿度母为观世音菩萨的化身。度母，梵名Tara，全称圣救度佛母，我国古代称多罗菩萨、多罗观音，度母有许多不同的化现，包括有二十一度母、五百度母等等，皆为观世音菩萨之化身，而绿度母为所有度母之主尊，总摄其余二十尊化身之所有功德。

​

她能救八种苦难，如狮难、象难、蛇难、水难、牢狱难、贼难、非人难，又称为“救八难度母”。同时，还能把称为五毒的人类行为贪、嗔痴、慢、疑中的“疑”转成究竟圆满的智慧，有护持妇女幼儿的功德。

​

本尊心咒具足一切息增怀诛之功用，消除一切众生的烦恼痛苦、满足一切众生愿求，现世富贵长寿平安吉祥、除诸病苦业魔障碍等，帮助众生解脱生死苦海，命终往生极乐世界，获得究竟的安乐，因为其救度之迅速、摧灭魔业之勇猛，故又称作“救度速勇母”。

Persatuan Tara Hijau Lu Du Mu Kuala Lumpur dan Selangor (Green Tara Lu Du Mu Association Kuala Lumpur and Selangor) was officially established in April 2, 2020 under the Registrar of Society Malaysia (Registration Number: PPM-002-10-02042020)

 

In Tibetan Buddhism, om tare tuttare ture soha is an ancient mantra that is related to Tara, the “Mother of all Buddhas,” and especially to her manifestation as Green Tara. Om tare tuttare ture soha means “I prostrate to the Liberator, Mother of all the Victorious Ones.”

 

Tara, who Tibetans also call Dolma, is commonly thought to be a Bodhisattva or Buddha of compassion and action, a protector who comes to our aid to relieve us of physical, emotional and spiritual suffering. Of these 21 forms, two are especially popular among Tibetan people — White Tara, who is associated with compassion and long life, and Green Tara, who is associated with enlightened activity and abundance.

​

We usually think of om tare tuttare ture soha as Green Tara’s mantra, although sometimes it is used as the main mantra for all the Tara’s. As we see in the image above, Green Tara is usually depicted as a compassionate being ready to step down from her lotus throne to offer comfort and protection from all of the sufferings we experience in the world.

​

She is shown “in a posture of ease and readiness for action. While her left leg is folded in the contemplative position, her right leg is outstretched, ready to spring into action. Green Tara’s left hand is in the refuge-granting mudra (gesture); her right hand makes the boon-granting [giving] gesture. In her hands she also holds closed blue lotuses (utpalas), which symbolize purity and power.” 

​

Ordinary Tibetans pray to her when we are sick, when leaving for a long journey, or when we hope for success or wealth. His Holiness’ teaching shows us that this is not actually the true purpose of praying to or reciting mantras to Tara. When we chant the Green Tara mantra, we are not simply asking for Tara’s blessings and help with our lives and our “real world” problems.

​

Actually, we are also asking to be liberated from the misery of the mental delusions and negative emotions that blind us to true freedom, and to achieve the same enlightened body, speech and mind that Tara represents, not only for our own benefit, but for the benefit of all sentient beings.
