Question asked by Demian
Is there such thing as self initiation into the Yamantaka, Dorje Shugden, or Vajrasattva practice? Because I can't find any lamas or gurus here in Hawaii. And is it okay to give offerings without a varja or bell? Because I don't know how to obtain a vajra or bell and I don't know how to use it. Could you give me advise on how to give offerings and what to do with them afterwards please? I'm still new to Buddhism.
