http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Garchen_RinpocheKyse on siis videoiduista tantrisista vihkimyksistä joiden GR sanoo toimivan yhtä hyvin kuin live-vihkimystenkin. Tämä on aihe jota on kritisoitu monelta suunnalta.
H.E. Garchen Rinpoche's Teachings on How to Receive an Empowerment Online:
The touching of the vase to the crown of the head is the outer empowerment. The inner empowerment is to visualize yourself as the deity. The real empowerment is to realize the nature of your mind.
When you cultivate bodhicitta, that is the real deity, and when you do this, that is when you actually receive the empowerment over the internet.
If you live near the temple and think, "Oh, I don't need to go to the temple; I can just receive the empowerment over the internet," that is not the right motivation. If you have the opportunity to come to the temple, then you should come.If you don't live nearby and cannot come, but with all your heart would like to, that is the right motivation for receiving the empowerment over the internet.
Whoever has faith and devotion will receive the empowerment regardless of where they are, because the dharmakaya pervades like space. Even if you come to the temple to receive an empowerment, if you have no devotion you still will not receive it.
To quote Lord Jigten Sumgon, "You receive the empowerment only when you understand the meaning of the empowerment."
