Rinchen Terdzo Empowerment List PDF

Notes to the Empowerment Record
Abbreviations
HHPR= His Holiness Penor Rinpoche
HETSR= His Eminence Tai Situ Rinpoche
LT= Lama Tendzin, head chpon for this Rinchen Terdzo
KL=Kunnams List, the daily list of empowerments in Tibetan, prepared by Kunnam Namgyal
and Sherab, with some assistance from Gyurme Dorje
PK= Patricia Kirigin (compiler of this record)
HHPR and HETSR

HHPR and HETSR refer to the records of two previous Rinchen Terdzo bestowals by His
Holiness Penor Rinpoche and His Eminence Tai Situ Rinpoche respectively, which I referred to
in making this record. The notation not listed means that the empowerment did not appear
on their record listthis could mean that the empowerment was not given at that event, or
that for whatever reason it was given but not noted on the published record, either due to error
or because it was restricted. The notation not given means that the list actually stated that
said empowerment was not given at that time.
HHPRs list tended to list the protector empowerments but not many of the subsidiary
empowerments like torma empowerments or meaning empowerments. HETSRs list tended to
list the subsidiary empowerments very thoroughly but did not list the protector
empowerments. For these reasons, the list below is more complete than either of those two
records, and has approximately 882 empowerment entries (given in 83 days, not counting the
days off), in comparison to HHPRs 660 empowerment entries and HETSRs 725 empowerment
entries.
Lungs, Wangs, and Tris

The Rinchen Terdzo is made up of lungs (reading transmissions), wangs (empowerments), and
tris (instructions). This document is mainly a record of the empowerments. According to Lama
Tendzin and Gyurme Dorje, although the tris are included in or next to the empowerment texts
in the terdzo volumes, His Eminence did not read theserather, they were included with the
reading of lungs in the morning. The reason for this seemed to be that the Rinchen Terdzo
takes around twice as long to bestow if the dorje loppon (in this case, His Eminence Namkha
Drime Rinpoche) reads the tris at the time of the wangs. It was also explained that the tris are
supposed to be read at a slower, more understandable pace, and cannot be read at the faster
lung-reading speed. For the sake of having a record of what the tris are, I left the tri listings
in this document, in blue font, along side the empowerment listings they go with, even
though they were not read at that time.
English translation
To compile this list I used the English translation made for His Eminence Tai Situ Rinpoche by
translator Peter Alan Roberts as a basis (with permission). To this I made a lot of additions and
revisions based on consulting the Tibetan manual written by the 15 th Karmapa Khakhyab
Dorje, the English and Tibetan empowerment list from His Holiness Penor Rinpoche, and of
course based on what actually happened at our empowerments. A lot more work could be
done on revising and polishing the English and matching text titles from related
empowerments, which because of time restraints I did not do for this edition.
Please note that the text title appearing after in accordance with... in this record refers to the
title of the empowerment text.

Tibetan
The Tibetan in this list is taken from a combination of sources: Karmapa Khakhyab Dorjes
manual, Penor Rinpoches empowerment record, and the daily lists prepared by Kunnam and
Sherab. Ideally, more work should be done comparing and proofreading the Tibetan in my list
with Karmapa Khakhyab Dorjes listings, as well as with the actual empowerment texts
themselves. I did this when I could, but did not find out about the manual until partway into
the empowerments, and have not had the time to do a really thorough comparison and
revision.
Tibetan fonts
Please note that the wylie combinations spyi, spe, and dwa do not show up when typed in the
Tibetan font, this seems to be a flaw in the version of software I used, please consult the wylie
underneath the Tibetan if the Tibetan font is unclear.
levels of restriction
Unless otherwise noted, the empowerments were publicly given. I tried to note whenever an
empowerment was restricted, however it is possible that I missed noting something during
December before I started fully maintaining a daily list. It should also be noted that the
restriction level we observed is not necessarily inherent to the empowerment itself, but seemed
to depend on the situation and the discretion of the dorje loppon. The restricted
empowerments tended to be either protector empowerments or empowerments connected
with inner practices, which required a certain level of commitment or practice experience.
You will see in this record that the restriction level seemed to become more refined over the
course of the event: in the beginning, all lay people were asked to leave for the majority of
protector empowerments, while later, only those lay people who had not completed ngndro
were asked to leave. In general the gradations of restriction were: public, restricted to
monastics and those who had completed ngondro, restricted to monastics only, and restricted
to rinpoches, lamas, and the fully ordained sangha.
thanks
This list was made because of the encouragement of my teacher, Sakyong Mipham Rinpoche.
Our brilliant head chpon, Lama Tendzin, generously and patiently answered my questions at
the end of each empowerment session. We all owe a big thank you to translator Peter Roberts,
for generously providing his English translation as a basis and saying do whatever you want
with it!I hope everyone will support his work when they get a chance. Sakyong Mipham
Rinpoche provided me with a copy of His Eminence Penor Rinpoches empowerment record,
which was also very helpful.
Nickolai Almerov and Mapie Maury, with their excellent spoken Tibetan comprehension,
answered all my whispered questions about what was going on during the empowerments.
Kristine McCutcheon went out of her way almost every day to let me know how many
mandalas were set up for the coming days empowerments, based on her dedicated work with
the chpons. Thanks also to Kristine and Aanky Aarts for their help collecting the Tibetan lists
and notes when I was absent in the beginning of March. And special thanks to my boyfriend
and fellow Rinchen Terdz-phile, Walker Blaine, who helped each day with printing copies of
the list and revising it during the empowerment sessions, and who also sponsored my
attendance at the Rinchen Terdz and this work. His complete account of receiving the Rinchen
Terdz, The Great River Of Blessings, is available for free download at:

Lama Tendzin: the first of the empowerments mentioned in KKDs note (HHPR 605) actually
was given earlier. The second and third were not given earlier (LT thinks this is an error in
KKD), so they were given today. The second (HHPR 606) is part of the padma mkha gro dbang
right before it. The third (HHPR 607) is connected with the padma sgyu phrul drwa ba.

KKD Note: In terms of the teaching of the profound instructions of The Karmapas Heart-Bindu of
Vimalamitra, in general, as in the empowerment record of instructions, it is said that the
performance of the empowerment should contains the elaborate, simple, and extremely simple
empowerments of the [Karmapa] Vimilamitra Heart Bindu. However, it can be simplified,
because it has blended into one river of transmission with the preceding empowerments of the
seventeen very secret Great Perfection tantras of Dangma Lhundrup, and therefore they will
suffice. [I didnt really understand the note here; see KKD manual 393:1-396:1]
