REQUEST AN MP3 OF THE TRACK
I ask people to make specific donations to any of the various charities mentioned above, using the reference “AZUKX MUSIC” This is to proliferate “additional donations”, rather than asking for confirmation of previous donations made.
Many thousands of hours and a vast amount of money has been invested
in the production of my music, for which I ask nothing more than for people to make specific donations to the selected charities.
Having followed one of the above links and made a donation please send a copy of the receipt to me by email at :
garyazukx@gmail.com to receive an MP3.
If you are a Monastic or unable to donate, please do not hesitate to contact me.
Thank you for your generosity and encouragement. I pray that with your continued support and prevailing conditions, I will be afforded the privilege of making Dharma music for many years to come. 🙏🏻
My Very Best Wishes To You All
Gary Azukx
This track was inspired by Jigdrel Kunga Rinpoche's Tara chant.
I didn’t want to just put music to it so I tried to let it "speak to me" :-)
And this is what happened !
All other vocals by my son Max and I.
I hope you like it.

lyrics
OM TARE TUTTARE TURE SOHA
Today is Chötrul Düchen, the Day of Miracles, one of four festivals marking miraculous events in the life of Buddha Shakyamuni. On this day, all positive actions are multiplied by 10 million. Throughout the day, we invite you to remember KF's patron deity, Arya Tara.
O!
Great Bhagavati Arya Tara,
Dispel all the defilements of myself and all sentient beings.
Lead us to achieve enlightenment swiftly.
In our lifetimes may we experience favorable circumstances.
May outer and inner obstacles to enlightenment,
Such as disease, untimely death, nightmares, bad omens, and fears, be dispelled.
May our minds turn to the dharma.
Force us to be diligent, compel us see your face.
Provoke us to realize shunyata, the ultimate Bodhicitta.
Cause our rebirth in the realm of Amitabha.
How beautiful you are!
How powerful!
How infinite!
May we become like you.
Through this supplication, wherever we may be,
May there be no poverty, famine, or disputes.
May the dharma prevail.
—Dzongsar Khyentse Rinpoche composed this ode to Tara on April 3, 2017
