I'm going to check back at 4 eastern for the empowerment.
The question about the validity of the empowerment with major technical issues is a good one, I don't know. Any thoughts would be appreciated.
I did take Tsewang Dzinpa with some stream issues, and it seemed fine to me, no weird feelings, when I do the practice it seems right. But that's a very personal take on it. And I think it depends somewhat on HOW bad the stream is.

Garchen Rinpoche has said that if you are there online and you intend to receive the empowerment, no matter if the stream has problems, you get it...because he includes you. So no worries. Do you have the Tsewang Dzinpa text? I never did get a reply when I requested it from GBI.
