TARA WHITE
Tara "the liberator", "the savior" and "the star" is the main deity of compassion in Mahayana and Vajrayana.
Grouped in the 10 Mahāvidyā, goddesses grouped under the name of Great Wisdom in Hinduism, it took importance in Indian Buddhism at the beginning of the sixth century, then in Java, Cambodia and finally in Tibet from the eighth century and especially in the eleventh century with the arrival of Atisa.
It was first taken for an emanation of Avalokitesvara (Guan Yin), the Bodhisattva of great compassion, born of a lotus pushed into a tear of the latter.
She was then put in the same way as Prajnaparamita and will see just as she attributed the title of "mother of all the victors", popularized especially as "the savior" "the one who crosses to the other side".
Considered "the one who saves from the eight great fears", she is also the universal mother of all beings, protecting animals and plants and reigning over the three worlds the lower world, the earth and the heavens.
In the Vajrayana Tara is also a deity of choice (Yi Dam), able to lead the practitioner to the perfect Enlightenment that she embodies.
In the tantric movement, she reveals herself as a perfect Buddha in feminine form.
Tara was introduced to Tibet by the Nepalese princess Tristün, wife of King Songtsen Gampo (569-650) bringing with her a sandalwood statue of the goddess.
The green tara is the main form from which all the others would come.

THE GOD ELEPHANT GANESH
The elephant-god Ganesh (or Ganesha/Ganapati, also sometimes called siddhi data) is one of the most popular gods of Hinduism and is also widely represented both in the Temples of Theravada Buddhism (India, Thailand, Indonesia...) and in those of Vajrayana (Tibet, Nepal...). He plays an important role in Tantrism and is present in the Tibetan pantheon where he is recognized mainly as a deity of wealth but is also part of the attributes of some wrathful deities, somewhat frightening, terrible, secretive and fearful, avoiding obstacles.

The Japanese name of Ganesh is Shōten (聖天) or Kangiten (歓喜天), Japanese Buddhism considers it a manifestation of Shō Kannon Bosatsu (聖観音菩薩). In Japanese, the kanji 天 is used as the equivalent of the Hindu Deva.

MANTRA OF COMPASSION "OM MANI PADME HUM"

According to Tibetan Buddhism, reciting the mantra of Chenrezig Om Mani Padme Hum, out loud or inwardly, is an invocation to the benevolent and powerful attention of Chenrezig, the expression of the Buddha's compassion. Seeing the written mantra can have the same effect, which is why it is found in clearly visible places, even engraved in stone. It can also be invoked using prayer wheels on which the mantra is inscribed, sometimes thousands of times. There are different formats of prayer wheels: there are those that you can carry with you and spin with one hand, and there are others that are so big and heavy that it takes several people to spin them. According to Tibetan Buddhist monks, the mantra Om Mani Padme Hum (Hung) alone brings together all of the Buddha's teachings. We will now see step by step the power of this mantra in a more "technical" way.

Each syllable closes a door of reincarnation:

OM: Close the door to the world of the Devas (gods). MA: Close the door to the world of asuras (demigods). NI: Close the door to the human world. PAD: Close the door to the animal world. ME: Close the door to the world of pretas ("greedy spirits"). HUNG: Close the gate of hell.

Each syllable purifies a veil:

OM: purifies the veil of the body. MA: purifies the veil of speech. NI: purifies the veil of the spirit. PAD: purifies the veil of contradictory emotions. ME: purifies the veil of substantial existence. HUNG: purifies the veil that covers knowledge.

Each syllable is a mantra in itself:

OM: for the body of Buddhas. MA: for the word of the Buddhas. NI: for the spirit of the Buddhas. PAD: for the virtues of the Buddhas. ME: for the achievements of the Buddhas. HUNG: For the grace of body, speech, spirit, virtue and all the achievements of the Buddhas.

Each syllable corresponds to one of six transcendental paradigms or perfects:

OM: generosity. MA: Ethics. NI: tolerance. PAD: perseverance. ME: concentration. HUNG: Discernment.

Each syllable is also connected to a Buddha:

OM: Ratnasambhava. MA: Amaoghasiddi. NI: Vajradhara PAD: Vairocana. ME: Amitabha. HUNG: Akshobya.

Each syllable of the mantra cleanses us of a defect:

OM: pride. MA: the desire / desire to be entertained. NI: passionate desire. PAD: stupidity / prejudice. ME: poverty / possessiveness. HUNG: Aggressiveness/hatred.

Finally, each syllable corresponds to one of the six wisdoms:

OM: the wisdom of stability. MA: Fulfilling wisdom NI: wisdom emanates from oneself PAD: Kissing wisdom (dharma) ME: discriminating wisdom HUNG: mirror-like wisdom.
