As Gelong Tenzin Namdak explains in his introduction to Chenrezig Gyalwa Gyatso self-initiation by Jampal Gyatso, “Self-initiation is a powerful practice in which you take the four empowerments on your own, thereby renewing your bodhisattva and tantric vows".

This self-initiation ritual can be practiced by anyone who has already received the four empowerments of Chenrezig Gyalwa Gyatso from a qualified teacher, is keeping the commitments and has completed the approximation retreat of at least 100,000 mantras plus 10,000 wisdom shower mantras and has sealed the retreat with a fire puja.

Includes self-initiation and Concise self-initiation, along with important altar set-up information.
