Black Tara Mantra, 7th Tara of 21: Destroyer of all Evils and Enemies; Chanted 108 Times

Tara, the Mother of all the Buddhas, emanates in countless forms to help sentient beings. (PLEASE TURN ON CC captions if you'd like to chant along with the mantra or for other languages.) 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. All Taras protect. As Black Tara, in her most wrathful form, she tramples and burns them completely so they can never harm us. 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 ॥ BLACK TARA’s 15-MINUTE ULTIMATE PROTECTION RITUAL VIDEO:    • Black Tara's Ultimate Protection Ritual: 1...   Ideally, if you need protection, wisdom and compassion, do her entire practice (it’s short).

If you’re enemy is attacking you, she can destroy the anger and hate causing the attack, but not the attacker itself. If it is a force of nature, she can help subdue. What does the mantra mean? 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.
