For this meditation, which takes advantage of autumn's inward-turning energy to help you complete life and afterlife, you need an image of the goddess White Tara plus sutiable incense like nag champa, or patchouli.
Begin with this invocation: Tara, star goddess, etnerally burning one. Fuel our hunger for knowledge, perpare us for release from the merely phyiscal, and ferry us acorss from the world of delusion to the world of truth. White Tara, bright Tara, we beseech you: Open your three eyes to the deed of our lives and teach us to see beyond death to freedom.
Spend at least ten minutes meditating on the meaning of life and the infinite possiblilites of the afterlife. You may find it helpful to gate at the goddess image or the smoke, or you may prefer to close your eyes. Afterward thank White Tara for her help and let the incense burn out.
