Anyone can do this practice. However, you are permitted to generate yourself as Four-Armed Chenrezig only if you have received the appropriate initiation. Otherwise, you should visualize Four-Armed Chenrezig above your head or in front of you.

By Thangtong Gyalpo, translated by Ven. Steve Carlier.

This short Four-Armed Chenrezig sadhana was composed by Thangtong Gyalpo (1385–1464), a mahasiddha renowned for his various building projects, including wooden and iron bridges, ferry-crossings, temples, monasteries, and holy objects.
