All Taras protect, although in her most wrathful black form, the 7th of the 21 Taras, she overcomes every evil, every enemy, obstacle, negativity - and even curses or evil forces.
Her mantra is among the most powerful of protections:
oṃ tāre tuttāre ture sarva vidyā avarṇā ye bhye phaṭ svahā
ओं तारे तुत्तारे तुरे सर्व विद्या अवर्णा ये भ्ये फट स्वहा ॥
This Mantra is from the venerable Lord Atisha Lineage, one of the most popular of the 21 Taras systems. (For the Surya Gupta lineage 7th Tara mantra, see links below) To learn more about the mantras in the Atisha lineage, see Kyabje Zopa Rinpoche's superb book, The Power of Mantra: amzn.to/3Hty3M4 (*affiliate link)
OUR DOCUMENTARY ON BLACK TARA GOES INTO WHAT THE MANTRA MEANS: • Black Tara Documentary...
WHAT THE MANTRA MEANS: As always, in Sanskrit, the individual vowels have one meaning, and the assembled words carry another meaning, often more than one. Om starts most mantras and represents the body, speech, and mind of Buddha Tara. The syllables Ta and re liberate beings from samsara. Tuttare frees us from our fears. Ture liberates us from disease. Sarva means "every," and vidya means "wisdom" and"intention"; in this context, every wisdom. Bhye Phat is asking Tara to destroy our obstacles or difficulties through her wisdom. Svaha usually translates as "well said" and "so be it."
The overall translation can be: "Homage to the body, speech, and mind of Tara, the saviouress from suffering, our fears and disease, whose wisdom cuts and destroys every obstacle and negativity." This translation is only one interpretation, as individual Sanskrit vowels have many layers of meaning in the context of Buddhism.
