What is an empowerment?
Empowerment is a ceremony in which the master authorizes the student to engage in Vajrayana meditation, passing on the blessings of the lineage of a particular practice.
It is said that receiving empowerment from a realized lama plants the seeds for enlightenment in our minds, creating the causes for us to reveal our true nature.
