Chittamani Tara is the Highest Yoga Tantra aspect of Green Tara, one of the most popular yidams in Tibetan Buddhism.
In this book beloved teacher Pabongkha Rinpoche shares the teachings that his teacher, Gargyi Wangpo Takphu Dorje Chang, received directly from Chittamani Tara herself.
The Secret Revelations of Chittamani Tara contains many profound oral instructions that are not easily found elsewhere, including one of the most powerful and practical discourses on the completion stage to be found anywhere in English translation. Rinpoche has supplemented his commentary with teachings from the Gaden Hearing Lineage as well as the general tantric teachings of the Gelug tradition. Also included are the Chittamani Tara self-generation sadhana , the ganachakra offering for Chittamani Tara, and three beautiful and moving praises and prayers to Tara composed by masters in the tradition.
Lovingly translated by the scholar-monk David Gonsalez, The Secret Revelations of Chittamani Tara is a guiding force leading all living beings to the state of Arya Tara.

In reality I only read the section on the generation stage, because that is what I'm working on in my practice right now. However, it's clear to me that although Pabongkha was a controversial figure, he did in fact know what he was talking about when it comes to meditation. His presentation is very clear and concise (in typical Gelug style), and he elaborates all of the important points about gradation in the style of Tsongkhapa. It will undoubtedly help me deepen my practice of Mother Tara given to me by my dear teacher Lama Jhampa Shaneman (Guru Vajradhara Maitri Bhadra Rinpoche). Om tare tuttare ture svaha
