有一些人詢問，如果是透過網路串流觀看灌頂過程，是不是真正領受到灌頂。以下是仁波切的答覆：
"將寶瓶碰觸頭頂是外灌頂。自觀為本尊是內灌頂。真正的灌頂是了悟自心本性。
"當你修菩提心的時候，你是真正的本尊。這麼做的時候，就是在網路上真正領受到灌頂的時候。
"如果你住在道場附近，就想 '噢，我不需要去道場，只要在網路上接受灌頂就可以了。' 這種態度不正確。如果你有機會到道場來，就應該來。
"如果你不住在附近，沒辦法來，但至誠懇切地想要接受灌頂，這就是在網路上接受灌頂的正確發心。
祝吉祥如意！
We have received several inquiries asking if one actually receives the empowerment if done by streaming, and following is Rinpoche’s reply:
“The touching of the vase to the crown of the head is the outer empowerment. The inner empowerment is to visualize yourself as the deity. The real empowerment is to realize the nature of your mind.
“When you cultivate bodhicitta, that is the real deity, and when you do this, that is when you actually receive the empowerment over the internet.
“If you live near the temple and think, ‘Oh, I don’t need to go to the temple; I can just receive the empowerment over the internet,’ that is not the right motivation. If you have the opportunity to come to the temple, then you should come.
“If you don't live nearby and cannot come, but with all your heart would like to, that is the right motivation for receiving the empowerment over the internet.”
May all be auspicious!
