Practice with the commitment to receive empowerment later

Post by Natan »

I've seen this come up and I'm curious about it. Sometimes lamas will expose aspects of sadhana and say it's ok if you have a firm commitment to receive the empowerment in the future. As if due to circumstances one might have to wait for the empowerment because of logistical delays. Is that a loophole? Or is this a no no?
