(byis pa 'jug pa'i dbang bdun) The main type of empowerment that introduces the student to the maṇḍala and to this practice is known as the "Seven Empowerments Raising the Child" (byis pa 'jug pa'i dbang bdun). The generation process meditation – specifically the many steps in the formation of the maṇḍala and the generation of all the deities within it – purifies one's experience and perceptions of the process of life, from conception up to the stage of puberty, and for this reason the introduction to this practice is likened to raising a child.
