This is 26th of March, 2012.
Guru giving empowerment transfer at Da Yin Chapter in Jakarta, Indonesia.
The empowerment transmissions are as follows:

Lin Bodhisattva / Mazu / 天上圣母

Guru forming Mazu's mudra

Yamaraja 阎魔天

Guru forming Yamaraja's mudra

Garuda 迦楼罗尊者

Guru forming Garuda's mudra

Guru started the empowerment from the top floor downwards, using rice and salt mixture.

As we followed Guru downstairs, we were stuck behind Guru as he is giving the empowerment transfer at the front entrance.

Some students said the rice and salt didn't touch them, and wondered whether they received the empowerment transfers or not.

I told them that they got the empowerment as when Guru spread his hand to scattered the rice and salt, he also spread light as empowerment.

Even if these lights are invisible to most, I urge all to Trust Guru to give to each and every individual equally without discrimination or differentiation.

What you receive from Guru depend on your own sincerity and mindset!

Do you remember Guru's instruction of visualization, mudra and mantra?

Or were you too preoccupied with making sure the objects you have in your hands touch the empowerment equipments?

On 25-3-2012, a few students boasted to me that they went 3 rounds or more under the empowerment banners!!!

Hahaha!

I told them honestly that they got the empowerment the first round but lost it the second and subsequent rounds.

When you believe that Guru is not able or powerful enough to give you the appropriate empowerment transfer the first round, what make you so sure that going a few rounds will make everything complete?

All these are the demons at work in your mind/heart!

During empowerment, it is good to observe those students including all grades of Dharma propagators, like vajra masters and etc. You can see how many really cultivated well and get empowerment transfer the right way.

Do not follow what others are doing blindly, please.

Listen to your Root Guru only.

Don't be the clown trying to balance everything you are holding, in which you think it is important to have them touch the empowerment banners.

At the other chapter while waiting in line for empowerment transfer, some students advanced forward cutting queue. This is a very selfish act of putting self first and not having the courtesy to wait in line for your turn.

Remember that when your mind/heart is too full of what you think is important, you gave up most of what Guru wants to give you.
