White represents the enlightened activity of pacifying, for example overcoming sickness,

causes of untimely death and obstacles to success in one's life or one's practice.
Yellow represents the enlightened activity of increasing the positive qualities conducive to a
long life, peace, happiness and success in one's Dharma practice.
Red represents the enlightened activity of power, or overpowering external forces that cannot

untimely death, etc., and forcefully accumulating conducive conditions for one's Dharma
practice.

Then, out of Chenrezigs compassion, two tears appeared and one tear became Green Tara and the other tear
became White Tara, as emanations to help Chenrezig to accomplish his commitment very swiftly, very fast,
basically. You generally say that Taras activities are connected to Chenrezig. This is a story about that.
There is another legend actually, that says that Tara was a princess many millions of years ago, kalpas ago.
During the time of a Buddha called Amogasiddhi there was a princess called Yeshe Dawa. She became a
bodhisattva, because she had a very courageous nature, she was strong, fearless and committed and she made a
commitment that from now onwards our work becoming so powerful and highly attained, that I can help
hundred thousand beings every day. Her confidence was so strong that she felt she could do that much. She did
not want to do just a little bit, she wanted to do really a lot, the strength of her courage was so big that she
thought she can do more than normally, more than just being a nice kind lady, she can actually work very
courageously and strongly and help that many beings every day.
Because of this strong conviction, courage and fearlessness, she became an enlightened bodhisattva. Whatever she
did, everything had a strong effect of helping and benefiting others and she attained different bhumis. When she
became enlightened she dedicated all her positive actions saying whoever is connected to me in any way, may
they be able to have very swift progress, may they have swift benefit, may my swift actions effect them.
This text is a terma. It was found by Chgyur Lingpa. It is said that there were 108 individuals who were said to
be great tertons (terchen), and Chgyur Lingpa was one of them and he discovered this practice. Its called a
gomter, mind terma, it is said that it appeared when he was staying in a cave called Pema Shelphuk, the Crystal
Cave of Pema, and he had a vision of Tara, and Tara said to him: Lekso, lekso, lekso. Three times she uttered
this, which means very good, excellent, very good. He had this vision of her saying that, and then in his mind
appeared this terma, which he passed on to Jamgon Kongtrul, who then formed it, he wrote the actual sadhana.
