17th Karmapa on the importance of teaching secret mantra practice individually and not to groups

In this short clip from Day 3 of the online teaching given by 17th Gyalwang Karmapa on the Fifty Verses on the Guru, he outlines the importance of teaching and practising secret mantra Vajrayana in secret and privately. He explains how the secret mantra practice degenerated in Tibet and was being taught to huge groups of people and that Dromtonpa had warned people that this was a grave and huge mistake, as secrets would be revealed. The 17th Karmapa explains how when two people enter the same mandala at the same time and request an empowerment, the guru must teach the tantra and sadhana to each person separately and privately individually and not together. Teaching them together would reveal secrets and would not be correct or appropriate.
