The empowerment ritual is sometimes called the indispensable entrance door to Vajrayana Buddhism. It activates our natural right to an enlightened rule over our lives and spiritual practice. This clearly comprehensible book, Empowerment, contains a wealth of instructions omn all the key points of Buddhist training, particularly the path of liberation, Mahamudra and Dzogchen. People who harbor no ambition to become great scholars but who want to focus on truly realizing the ultimate point of view of Vajrayana training should study just a few words of the writings of of the 17th century master Tsele Natsok Rangdrol. In these they will find hte pith instructions taht are the very heart of Buddhism.
