The wisdom-knowledge empowerment. This is the one that is associated with sexual energies. That, as I think we know, is a whole garden full of earthly confusion, but suffice it to say that in reality you will find this is quite a chaste affair. It is often said that there is hardly anyone, possibly no one at all, qualified for the actual physical tantric sex practice in the world today.

That's not to say that there are a few people who think they are, and who am I to say whether they are correct or not. In addition to this, as recently mentioned, if someone is on this path, there are two things to bear in mind. The first is that the practitioner must never ejaculate or have an orgasm. Hijackers, please note.

The second is that there are nevertheless other ways of handling this energy. There are other, less problematic methods of manipulating those bodily energies to produce warmth and bliss. 4. the word empowerment. This is a question of the true, clear, blissful, empty nature of the mind itself, and so comes closest to the Mahamudra and Dzogchen practices that popped their heads up in episode 34.

Yes, what I've just said is all rather vague, I admit it, and that is in fact deliberate. The only real value in these things is when you actually follow this path, take these teachings, receive the transmissions in the proper way, and then with all the extra information and advice you get, it will become clearer. On an entirely practical level, one or two tips for newcomers would be as follows.

Make sure you go armed with a long white scarf, commonly known as a kata. If you don't already have a drawer full of them from previous occasions, ask your centre where you can get one. Make sure you also go armed with an envelope to put some cash in at the end. If you can, dress up in your Sunday best and be ready to prostrate. Chart things that you can't understand.

Stand up, sit down, make hand gestures and do various other things for which you will have to take your cue from those around you. If it all seems a bit weird, don't worry. It will be seeming weird to many of the other participants. If you are lucky, the presiding Lama will make sure that things are actually explained to you as you go along.

Pay attention to this, as it will make the whole thing much more meaningful. If you are not lucky, there will be no explanation, and that is just tough. I mean it. The explanations make a huge difference. People do argue about whether meaningful empowerments can be given online. Some people say yes. Some even say that it's possible to take empowerment from a recording.

The fact that there are such people cannot be wished away. My own view is that online empowerments are rather like cybersex. Perhaps it's fun, but it's hard to imagine that it's the same as the real thing. But others have a different point of view. What can I say? There is also discussion to be had about whether mass empowerments, sometimes with thousands of recipients, are a good thing or not.

Once again, there are multiple views. My view, just mine, but quite commonly held, is that they are really not much more than a blessing, although that can be a great thing. Once the number of recipients is so large that the Lama no longer knows them all, knows who they are, or in some cases can even see them, isn't it becoming so diluted that it doesn't really amount to all that much?

But again, others have a different point of view, what can I say? There is one more thing that you will probably hear about and will want to look as if you know what's being spoken about, and that is lungs. These are spelt like those spongy things that you have in your chest. The tradition is that when the power to perform a practice is being fully transmitted, there are three essential parts.
