"Receiving Empowerment in Vajrayana teachings is like planting a seed for Enlightenment. It prepares our body speech and mind just as tilling the soil and furnishing nutrients would facilitate seed growth. While we already have Buddha Nature, our obscurations keep us from realizing it, and the Empowerment aids us in beginning the process to reveal our Enlightened Mind."
