In the interest of clarity, and not wanting to diminish the words written,... the story given.... the whole truth is more complex... yet much in this spirit in which it is told.

Tara is the feminine aspect of Amitabha Buddha, who emanated in response to a call for help from the Creator God of this universe, who is known as Brahma, and as Amoghasiddhi Buddha in his capacity as a Buddha.... as we all have that capacity,... though much unrealized.

Tara reincarnated in ancient Lemuria, actually, at the time of Atlantis. She was the daughter of a female form of Lokesvara,... who lived in a Beautific Garden setting in what is now the area of Sri Lanka. Tara became the lover of a male reincarnation of Shiva, who lived in a beautifully ornate pyramidic structure, only abot 40 feet high. They had a son who it was foreseen by Tara would reincarnate as the one we ....now call Babaji Nagaraj.... and be available to help in the Kali Age, as it was also foreseen that many difficult times and trouble-filled lives would have to be lived to fully Evolve through the Many Lessons (through terrible obstacles) the Kali Yuga represented.

Tara's lover was the one who would have numerous Great Roles to play on Terra (as Earth was called before the Kali Yuga.... which is a shorter cycle Yuga in our local Cosmos than it is in its longer version, which is a far older cyclical template) Horus was the name of the man whom was Tara's lover, and he went on to become the Egyptian Deity who lived in the Great Pyramid for many ages. The same spirit as Horus left the Great Pyramid at the end of the Egyptian Epoch of Power, and went outside of time... back through time, to reincarnate into being both Solomon the Wise, and Siddhartha, the historic bringer of the Dharma teachings (his version) to our world.

Tara was able to Ascend out of her physical body at a fairly young age.... translating her physical form into an Ascended body of light by the focus of tantric energies.

She worked as an ascended master, over Atlantis, trying to prevent the template of its Demise from coming into full manifestation.... yet the Abuses of Free-Will and the Deafness of its leaders to her spirited guidances offered...... resulted in the sinking of the landmass (that was foreseen as very likely), as malevolent manipulations of earth energies by the Atlanteans (towards such people as the Lemurians) liquified the mantle under their own feet.

After this Traumatic Event, which still marks the subconscious psyches of many reincarnated Atlanteans present in large numbers here in this modern age,... Tara was joined there in the higher dimensions of spirit by Longtime (beyond time) companion Avalokiteshvara,... and they saw the need to bring Buddism to Tibet. This is a long story in itself. Briefly, Avalokiteshvara transformed her into the Bodhisattva Tara, and together they had work and adventures as Bodhisattvas that would fill a book.

When all this was far along in its progression, it was seen that there was more evolutionary work for the multidimensional spirit of Tara. The Creator God had (originally) taken the Emanation from Amitabha Buddha and with a kind of spiritual Prism... split the energies of consciousness into basic forms,... both male and female. The male energies had come through various spiritual-mutidimensional pathways into this universe-creation outside of space-time as we know it.... setting up lifetime potentialities within the time-space matrix that required a spiritual presence to 'make real'. Lives.......( that the Essence of Tara,... the dark energy beyond her light body.)... needed to somehow enter to fulfill the evolutionary transformations that were needed of the male energies as well.

This was a spiritual Enigma for Tara. Tara Loved Being Female......... sha had declared that she would not seek Enlightenment in a Male Body..... because most of the Buddhas were Male, and her own Higher Self (Amitabha Buddha) was Already in Sukhyavati.... not in need of a Re-Infusion of Ascension-Enlightenment. So,... with Great Reluctance,... but with firm resolve..... it was seen that she would need to "let go" of her Bodhisattva Light Body..... turning it over to the Care of Avalokiteshvara and his female form Quan Yin. Tara stated that her basic Tara body was not to be "dropped",... as usually this is what happens when an Ascended Being chooses to re-incarnate for the sake of spiritual evolution of self and to help other spirits.

Tara told Avalokiteshvara/Quan Yin that her 21 forms .....{Light Bodies that the 'dark essence' (dark energies, but not negative) of ascended beings can "take upon themselves".....rather like a Light Garment ...... that exist outside of space-time} .... she said her 21 forms would be available for use by the spirit of Quan Yin/Avalokieshvara .....who was/is free also to use these Light Garments of Being/Consciousness to help Aspiring Spirits with well-evolved female essences to EXPERIENCE! for themselves the JOY of Bodhisattvahood.... as many spirits would Benefit! from this.

So it is that we have more than a few reincarnate beings, entirely differing souls (not parallel manifestations of a singular spirit) on Terra that have an 'awareness' of ""being" ...of 'having been'...'of Tara'.

This can be confusing..... an unintended consequence... which, mercifully, thusfar has not resulted in disharmonious conflict of any sort... which would be totally Contrary to the Bodhisattva Spirit. This needs to come to light in these end times.... why?.... Because Ultimately Each of us has to 'come to grips' with our Own Buddhanature............. to fully recall if we were given an opportunity to be "queen for a day" in the Bodhi-realm... to understand this dynamic. Also to move into full personal awarenesses of each of our own Deep spiritual Histories... which will reveal more fully who we are, and what our purposes are in this present life.

Tara, (as a female spirit energy essence) exists outside of space-time.... and also within space-time in more 'temporally-engaged' light bodies..... as Amitabha has manifested Multiple Incarnations Simultaneously.... and so has done so...... yet there remains an underlying Singularity of consciousness that weaves through the space-time pathways that co-exist.

Tara-Amitabha Female-Male..... forms of the same consciousness. The spirit behind Tara can be reborn in a male form.... but it is the Ascended Feminine Essence of Tara that remains as a Bodhisattva, as the Male Essence remains both in Sukyavati, and struggling, {in a mix of the female&male in a physical body}, with the problems of the Kali Age here on Terra.

For those gifted with the ability to discern the truth behind this explanation, you are surely in-touch with your own Buddhahood, very likely, .....and a friend to me.

The polarities-imbalances between male and female energies is a longstanding problem of sorts..... Pointing it out can be used in ways that further the sense of alienation.... and also it can be indicated in ways that help bring healing and appropriate awareness. The feminine principles of Heart and sublime beauty are needed in both men and women. Denying such graces to men, by way of popular culture, and even just as a result of being born male in the view of many women..... inhibits the progress of our collective awakenings.

Understanding that Tara said she "Would not seek Enlightenment in a male body" was not a declaration that she refused to incarnate as a male...... that is Essential to discern.... as she is such a role model for women. Tara was not Refusing to be Male as a path to reincarnation.... which would imply she had an significant Distain for Maleness......(as some women seem to.) She just saw that her own masculine energies had already fairly Fully Developed in terms of Ascension Enlightenment (which is of the essence of the masculine spiritual principle). Tara wanted to Seek Enlightenment Only in a female reincarnation for the sake of Balancing within herself, and by way of example, the Feminine Principles. By Not Actively seeking ascension enlightenment in her subsequent male reincarnations,.... (not opposing any naturally occuring awakenings.... but working within the context of "resources available, potentially, outside of the context of intensive Buddhist practices") she sought to expand her own Bodhisattvahood into the Mundane World .... to find Pathways to Reach those outside of what Buddha Dharma alone was able to achieve..... also for the sake of her own understanding of how Samsara remains Such an Obstacle for So Many.
The strategy is working, (understanding is coming into fruition), but the obstacles are still stubbornly slow to budge.

It's important to understand that there are Other forms of Enlightenment, more Feminine in Character, than the conventional ascension enLightenment much of the Buddha Dharma deals with. Bodhisattvahood works towards the Feminine forms of "enlightenment"... which goes more towards transforming Dark Energies from common negative uses.... into Positive Dark Energies (as of the Goddesses)... which can be as totally positive as the Light...... being mindful that even the light can be used Negatively... despite its common association with the positive. Negativity can't be fully eliminated... but it can be brought into harmonious balance (and don't foget the Neutral dynamic).

It must be discerned that without personal understanding that the superficial Aspects of Spirit (dark & light) can go either way........... without that awareness we are vulnerable to exploitation and gross disharmonies. But, it is part of the learning process. Be aware and learn from the mistakes of yourself(s) and those of others (ourselves). Then we may progress towards realizing the harmonies that all desire within our hearts.

Welcome Insane..

Never heard of it, and the "born of the tears of Chenrizig" is a nice little popular mythologization in itself. Zambala sounds like Shambala, and the themes you've 'heard of' sound quite of earthly origin.
