260966725_6c10456c48_oQuestion: Yesterday Rinpoche spoke about different levels of the guru. When one receives the empowerments in Guru Yoga practice, are there different levels of empowerment corresponding to this?
Please explain how to receive the empowerments from the guru in the practice of Guru Yoga.?
Garchen Rinpoche: There is no separate empowerment for the Guru Yoga practice, but during the Guru Yoga practice we take the four empowerments from the visualized guru. These are self-­empowerments and are included in the sadhana. The essence of this is devotion to the guru. The guru empowerment is devotion.
