No, You can only receive the empowerment by being there in person or seeing it live over livestream

you may if you have faith, Garchen Rinpoche say that time and space are not absolute, but there are different opinions... Garchen say that sometimes people are present and do not get the empowerment and other get it at distance. but different opinions,

In Larung Gar, our khenpo told us that HH instructed his students that he has given permission to anyone who has adequate faith in the master to receive the empowerment by watching this video

Gilmaniandevil Hi, one can only receive an empowerment by being there in person, or receiving it over the internet by live-streaming ie while it's actually taking place. At that time the Master is directing his wisdom mind to those who he's giving the empowerment. Then those present are qualified to practice the text and do the visualizations etc. But actually you can recite the Manjushri mantra without an empowerment and visualize Manjushri in the space before you. Hope this helps :-)

+Gilmaniandevil Anyone who has Mahayana Buddhist Buddhist vows can recite Manjusri, Avalokitevara, Medicine Buddha and Amitabha Buddha. Those are all Mahayana practices. There are specialized forms of these which are not simple Mahayana.

Some teachers says that you can others that you can't, Garchen Rinpoche says you can, also one of Larung Gar teachers I know also says so! A Sakyapa teacher I also know, says vehemently that this is impossible, who knows?The Larung Gar monk said that once Jigme Phuntsok himself is said to have received one empowerment from a recording of Dudjom Rinpoche.

I heard from various enlightened teachers that if your self visualize in front of the Lama and resolve to implement the teachings of the empowerment, you will receive the same empowerment as present at the same place.

Personally I believe with the right devotion and view you can receive the empowerment even from an old recording, the mind stream continues in the ether irrespective of live or not - the dharma is always live 🙏🌈. Same way you can be there and not receive the blessings as much as someone watching it now if your mind isn’t ready

Rinpoche came to the West in 1993. As for where - maybe somebody will recognize the shrine behind him.

Andreas Walsh This took place in Sogyal Rinpoche's centre called Lerab Ling in France. You can see Sogyal Rinpoche at 12.00, along with Ringu Tulku, who translated, and Khenchen Namdrol.

This was in Lerab Ling, 30th August 1993! You can also see Sogyal Rinpoche in the video receiving the empowerment.
