If the thought of demons
Never rises in your mind,
You need not fear the demon hosts around you.
It is most important to tame your mind within....

In so far as the Ultimate, or the true nature of being is concerned,
there are neither buddhas or demons.
He who frees himself from fear and hope, evil and virtue,
will realize the insubstantial and groundless nature of confusion.
Samsara will then appear as the mahamudra itself….

The empowerment was already given or Rinpoche or will be giving it after the break?

i think it has not yet been given. why else the program would last until 5pm. and you can see from the ustream channel that they have uploaded the lighting ceremony there but not the medicine buddha empowerment.

I've been watching from the beginning, the empowerment has not been given yet. I think they have a two hour lunch break.

I don't know for sure when they start again, they are new to webcasting and didn't announce the times or write them on ustream.
The lighting ceremony was for a wall of lights in the center that people make a yearly offering to support for merit or their families. That center is also on facebook, you might look there or on their website.

Going live right now

Yes, for me too. It was on and off alternately. Also very poor sound quality, difficult to understand.
