Tara’s tenacity is immense. Buddha Shakyamuni vowed to awaken to enlightenment in the age when people’s lifespan had degenerated to one hundred years. His resolve is considered superior to that of other Buddhas. Buddha Shakyamuni himself, when teaching a sutra and a tantra on Tara, said that among all the other Buddhas, Manjushri and Tara are the two who have exceedingly great resolve. Tara is like an emanation of the mother of all the Buddhas of the three times. She carries out all their activities, dispelling the obstacles created through the eight or sixteen types of fear. Most significantly, she vowed to emanate in female form until all of samsara is emptied. When anyone supplicates Tara, her response is swift. The activities resulting from her aspiration are extraordinary, and there is ample evidence of this, right up to the present day.
