Ok, I just got a book of Buddhist Mantras and prayers yesterday that has a lot of material I've started using, but not all of the prayers/mantras have english translations connected to them, so I thought I'd start this thread. If anyone else finds mantras/prayers they want translations for they can post them here too.
Om Tare Tutare Ture Svaha: No idea what it means exactly, I know its a mantra to Green Tara to help overcome hardship, but I've got no idea what the direct translation is. Anyone have any ideas?

Aren't the all meant to be the names of particular Bodhivistas who represent what you're focussing on, and therefore there is no real translation?

Thanks Byaggha. You're quite the resource of information on Buddhism, if it weren't for you, and Harry, I think I'd be pretty sunk.

I'm not sure what Tara's mantra means, but I am familiar with the mantra of the Medicine Buddha and its meaning:
TAYATA OM BHAYKANDZE BHAYKANDZE MAHA BHAYKANDZE RADZA SAMUDGATE SOHA
"Tayata" means "it's like this"
I think we all know what "om" is
"Bhaykandze" means "healing"
"Maha" means "great"
"Radza" means "king"
"Samudgate" probably means "gone far"
"Soha" is like "amen" or "let this come to pass"

Merlin the White Thanks Byaggha. You're quite the resource of information on Buddhism, if it weren't for you, and Harry, I think I'd be pretty sunk. Meh, I just do a lot of reading. I only really know scattered bits of things outside my own branch, so it's often just luck if I know something. xd
