Commitment Requirement

The purpose of this empowerment is to fulfil the practice requirements of both Guru Yoga, the fourth uncommon preliminary practice in the Karma Kamtsang, and the Eighth Karmapa’s "Four-Session Guru Yoga".

Therefore, recipients of this empowerment will need to make the commitment to recite the "Four-Session Guru Yoga" at least once a day for the rest of their lives. Unless you are prepared to keep this commitment, you should not attend the empowerment.
