Kurukulle Empowerment by H.E. Beru Khyentse Rinpoche

In Singapore on 26 May 2019

According to Tara practice, Kurukulle is a very powerful female deity that tames negative forces and obstacles for the practitioners. She is a semi-wrathful aspect of Tara, a fully-Enlightened Buddhist goddess.

In this guise she confronts opponent forces. She presents an undaunted demeanor, which fierce expression and the holding of weapons are but symbolic means of conveying the central concept. Tara is at all times a wholly beneficent deity. Kurukulle wields her flower garland weapons to pierce their misguided reasoning, to hook onto their better nature and draw them near. She dances atop a corpse proclaiming conquest over death and wears a trophy necklace of 50 freshly severed heads (one for each syllable of the Tibetan writing system) symbolizing mastery of all ideas and knowledge. She represents the Wisdom side of Enlightened Nature.
