Question about "jenang"

Post by dapub5 »

I recited this from the FPMT website https://fpmt.org/wp-content/uploads/edu ... pdf?x88325
And i finished before i read the colophon. So i was wondering what "Jenang" is? and how does it relate to the practice in the link above?

A jenang is a permission to practice, it just means then Lama Zopa Rinpoche gives the empowerment of amitabha he sets this text as a commitment.
