I received this message from a few people.
"Geshema Kelsang Wangmo was informed by the Private Office of His Holiness the 14th Dalai Lama on the following and asked me to pass it on to those who are interested:
"His Holiness was asked whether those who wish to follow the upcoming Live Webcast with the Avalokitesvara Empowerment on 29-30 May 2020 would receive the empowerment while following online either at the same time or – due to time differences or technical challenges – only later.
"His Holiness has responded that the correct motivation is the key to receiving the initiation. Therefore, those who are not able to receive the 1000-Armed 1000-Eye Chenresig Empowerment during the live webcast but watch it later will receive the empowerment so long as their motivation is correct."

Avalokiteshvara
When His Holiness the Dalai Lama gave an Avalokiteshvara Empowerment on June 5, 2019, he spoke about the Avalokiteshvara mantra.
OM MANI PADME HUNG
Dalailama.com reported, "His Holiness announced that he had to undertake some preparations before giving the empowerment and asked the congregation to recite the six syllable mantra—Om mani padme hum. He explained that ‘Om’ is the initial syllable of many mantras and consists of three letters a, u and ma—aum. These represent the body, speech and mind of the Buddha and some sentient beings. He observed that although the mind is naturally pure, it is obscured by temporary defilements. These can be overcome by developing insight into reality. In this context, ‘mani’, which means jewel, represents method or the awakening mind of bodhichitta. ‘Padme’, or lotus, indicates wisdom, specifically insight into emptiness. These two need to be developed in combination and ‘hum’ represents their inseparable union. On the basis of this our body, speech and mind can be transformed into the body, speech and mind of a Buddha."
