Hello Gervond,
I'm sorry, I edited and moved your post from Kagyu to here, because you can't have a public discussion on restricted tantric practice disclosing the diety image and their details. In this subforum 'Buddhist Tantra Talk' users cannot answer directly, they have to write a PM to you.
I hope, some dharma siblings who received this initiation in Red Chenrezig in the Kagyu lineage come along and write a PM.
