Can A Woman Give Empowerment?

An Announcement from Jetsunma Ahkon Lhamo:

I have some great news! When Lama Lobsang comes to KPC, he will teach me to give empowerment from Nam Cho Cycle!  This has been in the works for some time and I look forward to that. I will then travel more.  His Holiness Penor Rinpoche set this up before his Parinirvana, and I have the strong aspiration to fulfill HIS wishes! His Holiness Penor Rinpoche said, “What better source than Guru Rinpoche’s YUM?

I will give the Guru empowerments first. Then the Dakini! And then accomplish more. So exciting, when he comes I will begin the training. Paljor will help with translation. I will never be a speed-reader, though.
