The White Tara is often spoken of as Mother of all Buddhas. In Vagrayana Buddhism she is a Buddha, among Mahayana Buddhists she is a Bodhisattva, an Enlightened Being of Compassion. The white refers to purity, truth, and completion. She has seven eyes, symbolizing watchfulness of a compassionate mind. The eyes are: the usual two eyes, the third eye on the forehead, in her two hands and feet. She is seen to give long life, wisdom, and good fortune. Many rely on her to protect against contagious disease and premature death.

And think not you can guide the course of love. For love, if it finds you worthy, shall guide your course.

Adonai visited the mystic Master, Baal Shem Tov. G-D said, “There is one among the congregation that prays the most lovely and meaningful prayers of all the others.” The Master inquired as to this man's name. Adonai told him the name.
The Baal Shem Tov visited this man, in the man's little hut, back in the wood. The Master said, “My friend, Adonai tells me you have the most lovely and meaningful prayers of all in the congregation. I never see you even join in the prayers. What does Adonai mean?”
“Master,” began the man, “I'm just a simple and illiterate man. I know only ten letters of the alphabet. When I enter prayers, I see others praying, and the beauty of it arises into my Heart so that I can barely contain the feeling for Adonai. So, I bow my head, and say to Adonai, my Love, 'Adonai, you know I am illiterate and cannot say the prayers.'” Next, I mention the ten letters I know to Adonai. Afterward, I say, “Adonai, you know my Heart, you know how much I love and adore you. I ask humbly for you to take these ten letters and form them however you wish that would most please you. Amen.”
The Baal Shem Tov was immediately struck with Awe at the Love and Faith of this illiterate man, and he understood what Adonai had meant in saying, “There is one among the congregation that prays the most lovely and meaningful prayers of all the others.”
And the Baal Shem Tov said, “Friend, thank you, today you have reminded me of what I most want, also, to give to Adonai, my Love.” And from that time on the Baal Shem Tov often told of the illiterate man who gave him the most important lesson he had ever received in the practice of prayer.

The Purpose of Prayer is to move into the Silence, where G-D Alone Is. Prayer is from Silence into Silence, for Silence is the Home of G-D. Words cannot take us into the Inner Sanctum of Mystery, where, as the ancient Hindu sages spoke, we are Alone with the Alone. Yet, words, even letters or sounds without apparent meaning, can usher the Heart of the sincere worshiper to the threshold of merging One-in-One, within the Heart of LIFE. There we discover we are in G-D, we each are I AM THAT.
PRAYER IS FROM SILENCE INTO SILENCE, FOR SILENCE IS THE HOME OF G-D.
*Arem Nahariim-Samadhi
