Item Description

This banner was donated by Geshe Tenzin Yangton. It hung in the Serenity Ridge Lama House and was used in Yangton Lama Tashi Gyaltsen Rinpoche's and Geshe Yangton's practice.

At the top, is a mandala of Sherap Chamma followed by the Sherap Chamma Heart mantra:

Om Ma Wa Ma De Ma Hi Mo Ha E Ma Ho Ma Ye Ru Pa Ye Ta Du Du So Ha

Sherap Chamma, also called in the Tibetan language “Thugje Chamma”, (The Great Wisdom Loving Mother) is considered in the Bön tradition to be the mother of all the Buddhas.

Sherap Chamma embodies the divine feminine energy of boundless love and compassion.

She is known as Sa Trik Er Sang in the ancient Zhang Zhung language, Sherap Chamma in the Tibetan Bon tradition, and as Tara in Tibetan Buddhism.

In the Bön pantheon, Chamma is considered as one of the “four principal sugatas”, also known as the four peaceful deities, who stimulate and superintend the spiritual evolution of the human race. They are:

Sherap Chamma, the Perfection of Wisdom.
Shenlha Okar, the sambhogakaya Buddha.
Sangpo Bumtri, the creator deity.
Shenrap Miwoche, the nirmanakaya or teacher.

The Loving Mother’s devotion to acts of love over many lifetimes transformed her into Chamma, the goddess whose unconditional love energy compassionately protects all beings. Chamma’s energy manifests in eight different ways to help overcome eight different fears.

Sherap Chamma is available to everyone for comfort, guidance, and healing as she has the power to dispel all obstacles such as fear, sickness, sadness or negative impact of demonic forces. She is thereby able to prolong life.
