An Instruction Manual on the Practice of White Tārā
ཡིད་བཞིན་འཁོར་ལོའི་ཚེ་ཁྲིད་བདུད་རྩིའི་ཟ་མ་ཏོག །
This text has been the very basis for teaching the meditation instructions for the contemplative practice of White Tārā within the Karma Kamtsang tradition ever since it was composed by its author, Jamgön Kongtrul Lodrö Thaye. These instructions would be implemented together with either one of three White Tārā sādhanas available to us nowadays. The first of these (The Daily Practice of White Tara), and by far the most widespread one, was composed by the Eighth Tai Situpa, Chökyi Jungne, which he however signed with his alternate name of Tenpe Nyinje. The second is by Jamgön Kongtrul himself. The last of these three was composed relatively recently by the late Kyabje Tenga Rinpoche and is a much-abbreviated version of its forerunners. Nevertheless, the same meditation instructions do apply in all three cases.
