It makes me wonder then, at the rationale of some teachers to give many successive empowerments to large numbers of people. Aren't they setting themselves up to have to suffer for our broken samayas? Or is that a reflection of their generosity and willingness to "plant seeds," even at the risk of our failure? In any event, thanks for thought-provoking comments.Leahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05600403740176525886noreply@blogger.com
