@Meaningness Met a dharma teacher today, student of late Namgyal Rinpoche. He asked me if I've been given a yidam yet. What does that mean?
In some but not all Vajrayana traditions, this is made into a Big Deal. The person was asking whether you’d had the Big Deal.

Yea, I was getting that from his other students a bit. I have this thing where I feel compelled to try to meet experienced dharma teachers..
