Praise Her
A Goddess to Promote Health and Longevity
Overcome destructive patterns with the help of White Tara
If you truly believed the divine resided within you, how would you take care of your body and mind? You would likely minimize your exposure to toxic substances and toxic people. You would eliminate anything that was threatening your longevity and peace of mind, preventing you from fulfilling your dharma — your life’s purpose. Maybe you would reconsider habitual behaviors you have picked up along the way like drinking, casual sex, smoking, or staying up late.
As the Tibetan Buddhist nun Pema Chödrön has said, “Death is certain, the time of death is uncertain.” We don’t have control over when we will die.
