1. Tara

   Tara or Ārya Tārā, also known as Jetsun Dolma in Tibetan Buddhism, is a female Bodhisattva in Mahayana Buddhism who appears as a female Buddha in Vajrayana Buddhism. She is known as the "mother of liberation", and represents the virtues of success in work and achievements. In Japan she is known as Tara Bosatsu, and little-known as Duōluó Púsà in Chinese Buddhism. Tara is a tantric meditation deity whose practice is used by practitioners of the Tibetan branch of Vajrayana Buddhism to develop certain inner qualities and understand outer, inner and secret teachings about compassion and emptiness. Tara is actually the generic name for a set of Buddhas or bodhisattvas of similar aspect. These may more properly be understood as different aspects of the same quality, as bodhisattvas are often considered metaphoric for Buddhist virtues. The most widely known forms of Tārā are: ⁕Green Tārā, known as the Buddha of enlightened activity ⁕White Tārā, also known for compassion, long life, healing and serenity; also known as The Wish-fulfilling Wheel, or Cintachakra ⁕Red Tārā, of fierce aspect associated with magnetizing all good things

Examples of tara in a Sentence

1. Former Georgia Rep. Stacey Abrams:

   I believed then and I believe now that women deserve to be heard because too often they are not, and Tara Reade deserved to have her story listened to and investigated. What was happening to Christine Blasey Ford was that there was no investigation -- there was a rush to move the conversation forward so that no investigation was conducted, i believe Joe Biden.

2. Judy Norton:

   My character Tara is a painter, a longer, an introvert, and then she starts experiencing concerning and disturbing phenomenon in her world… And she doesn’t know if she’s literally going crazy because her mother has, or if someone is stalking or manipulating her for some unknown, sinister reason… There was a lot of acting and emotional demands to it. And she’s also different from other characters I typically played. But I wanted that challenge to stretch myself outside of my comfort zone.

3. Lacie Hull:

   We were talking about it in the locker room after the game just how crazy it was that that was a year ago, it's great to be able to relive something like that again and celebrate Tara and everything that she's accomplished. It's been an absolute journey to be with her for the last four years and I feel really grateful to have been coached by her and just to see all that she's done, what she's done since I've been here and what she did before.

4. Dennis Toner:

   These clearly false allegations are in complete contradiction to both the inner workings of our Senate office and to the man I know and worked so closely with for almost two decades. i clearly would remember if we -- that is, if Tara and myself -- had any kind of conversation regarding sexual harassment allegations, let alone something involving Sen. Biden. It would stick in my mind. It would be burned in my mind.

5. Madeleine Dupont:

   When we were young, 100 %, my mom was always like, ‘ Now we need curling-free time. Tara Peterson ca n’t talk about curling all the time, ’ now we all live separate places, so it’s not a problem anymore. But it’s still hard to just leave it at the rink.
