## Radiant Heart of Tara – Weekly Thursday Green Tara Practice on Zoom
### A joyful virtual gathering to awaken compassion and benefit all beings
Each Thursday at 7:00 PM Eastern, we are invited to enter the sacred space of Noble Green Tara, the swift and fearless Mother of all Buddhas. Her practice calms fear, dissolves obstacles, and nurtures the courage to act with wisdom and love in daily life.
Led by Venerable Lopön Lama Konchok Sonam, Spiritual Director of both Katsel Meditation Sterling and Katsel Boston (DMC), this weekly practice is a precious opportunity to connect with the living wisdom of the Drikung Kagyu lineage.
Together, we chant the Twenty-One Praises to Tara and engage in the Tara Sadhana, invoking her enlightened activity for the benefit of all sentient beings. Everyone is welcome—no prior experience needed, just a sincere heart.
