No, I'm not asking anyone to describe it. I have a fair idea what it "is", and it not a thing I'd ask net-writers to break "secrecy" about.
But I do need help understanding where it fits it. Such as:
Is it a Longchen Nyingtig speciality?
If it's found outside Longchen Nyingtig, do other dzogchen traditions put the same emphasis on it?
Does it appear both as a stand-alone empowerment as well as embedded in other more deity-oriented or lama-oriented empowerments?
Does it appear in equivalent form but under another name in other parts of the Nyingma and dzogchen traditions?
Thank you in advance for any clarity, all of you.

Sometimes it is referred to as the "precious word empowerment." Sometimes it is called "direct introduction." Sometimes it is called "the extremely unelaborate empowerment."Does it appear in equivalent form but under another name in other parts of the Nyingma and dzogchen traditions?
