This White Tara torma is used in the practice written by Jamgon Kongtrul Lodro Thaye (1813-1899) known as The Daily Practice of the Noble Wish-Fulfilling Chakra (White Tara) Called “The Attainment of Deathlessness”. Jamgon Kongtrul Rinpoche is one of the four Regents of the Kagyu lineage of Tibetan Buddhism. This sadhana is based upon an earlier, longer sadhana by the eighth Tai Situ Rinpoche, who lived about 100 years earlier. It is likely Lodro Thaye wrote this to address the need for a shorter practice suitable for daily recitation in lay life. The preceding information is derived from remarks given by the Ven. Kalu Rinpoche.

This torma stands about 12 inches (30 cm) in height and is 3.5 inches (8.5 cm) across the base. The width across the center circular ornaments is 5.5 inches (14 cm). The circular ornaments on the sides and the crown ornament are removable so it can be safely packed up and taken to and from retreat as needed.
