In Praise of the Twenty-One Taras, translated by Martin Willson and published by Wisdom Publications in 1986, is a scholarly translation and study of the Tibetan Buddhist praise text to the twenty one forms of the bodhisattva Tara. Its authority rests on Willson's direct philological work with the Tibetan source text and Wisdom Publications' standing as a specialist publisher of peer reviewed Buddhist studies. It presents the praise text and its traditional commentarial background rather than an independent historical study of Tara devotion's development, which needs a separate source.
