OM:
it is, in general, the initial (and untranslatable) syllable of many mantras: it is a phonetic symbol that indicates the infinity and sanctity of the body, the word and the mind of all the buddhas, ie the 3 aspects of Buddhism: Nirmanakaya, Sambhogakaya and Dharmakaya (which are referred to Tara here). These 3 factors are represented individually by the letters A, U, M (which are the sounds that make up the Om).
With reference to the spiritual path, Om is therefore the goal to which we tend: by purifying our body, speech and mind, we transform them into the holy body, word and mind of Tara. From this point of view, if Om is the goal, Tare Tuttare Ture is the Path that leads to it;
2. TARE:
it is the vocative of "Tara", that is 'savior, the one who frees'. It indicates the one who protects sentient beings from the external dangers of this life and of future existences. These dangers are of 8 types: fire, water, lions, snakes, elephants, thieves, prison, evil spirits. In addition, Tara shelters from poverty, disease and suffering. This liberation is the goal of lower-level practitioners;
3. TUTTARE:
it is a strengthening of "Tare" and therefore means 'complete liberator'. It means that Tara protects us from the cycle of existences (saËsõra) and its causes: the latter are within ourselves and are the 8 inner dangers, ie the 8 main mental perturbations:
- the fire of anger
- water of attachment
- the lion of pride
- the snake of jealousy
- the elephant of ignorance
- the thief of wrong opinions
- the avarice that binds us like in a prison
- the evil spirits of negative doubts.
This liberation is the goal of practitioners of average capacity;
4. TURE:
it means "quick, quick, ready": that is, its saving action is extremely fast in freeing us - as well as from external and internal dangers - even from the slavery of "nirvõäa del húnayõna" (ie from grasping us to purely individual and egocentric liberation ). Tara, on the other hand, helps us to achieve the state of perfect enlightenment, that is, the Buddhahood for the benefit of all sentient beings. This state is obtained by eliminating the subtle obstacle of the imprints left in the mind by the kleæa; and it is the destination of higher capacity practitioners.
5. SVAHA:
closing formula of many mantras, etymologically it means that the foregoing has been "well said"; in a deeper sense, it has the meaning of a vow and solemn commitment ("so it happens, so be it!"): it expresses the wish that our mind can receive, absorb and maintain the blessings of Tara contained in the mantra OM TARE TUTTARE TURE and that these can be strengthened and rooted in the mind itself, bringing supreme happiness.
