EMPOWERMENT'S SAMAYA
After
receiving this empowerment there is no strict requirement for a daily sadhana
practice. However, anyone may voluntarily take up a commitment of doing the
practice. One can practice mantras of Buddha Shakyamuni, Maitreya and
Avalokiteshvara and/or the related sadhana which will be shared in the Zoom
chat. This sadhana was received from H.H. the Sakya Trichen in Tibetan and
translated by Sakya Friends into English and other languages.
For
receiving a Sakya empowerment there are commitments also mentioned in the
Seven-Limb Prayer (which is recited at the start of any Sakya empowerment): confessing all
the negative deeds, rejoicing in the virtuous deeds of beings, directing one's
mind towards aspiring and engaging bodhichitta, taking the Buddhist refuge and
bodhisattva vows. On the day of this empowerment it is recommended to keep the
vegetarian diet.
