just started but would be extremely helpful to have here the complete list-----Davide 14:41, 11 May 2008 (CEST)Davide

Pete: I have added some early wangs from my notes, some of the Dudjom Rinpoche wangs were not given at 'Rigpa' centres since Rigpa was not then founded, but there were numbers of Sogyal Rinpoches students present. Whether to leave them in or not I leave to the collective decision making process.

Kimberly: FYI, Trulshik Rinpoche did not give the complete Döjo Bumzang in 2003...

In July/August 2003 I attended the Lerab Ling retreat with Khenpo Namdrol on the Guyagharba Tantra. On August 1st he gave the necessary initiation on the Gyütrül Shyitrö,i.e. the Wrathful Deities. I now wonder if he possibly gave this initiation twice, since in this article it is mentioned Khenpo Namdrol gave the same inititiation in 2004. To my knowledege Khenpo Namdrol came to LL three years in a row to teach on the Guyagharba Tantra: 2003, 2004, 2005. --May 09:29, 24 May 2009 (UTC)

Hi May, Khenpo Namdrol came for four consecutive years to give these teachings, beginning in 2002, as mentioned here. We need to review the details of the empowerments he gave on each occasion, but he certainly did give the same empowerment at least twice. --adam 10:11, 24 May 2009 (UTC)
That explains it then, thank you, Adam. And I now inserted Khenpo Namdral's 2003 empowerment in the list.--May 07:38, 25 May 2009 (UTC)
