Many thanks to Rinpoche, Malcolm and Wisdom Publications for organising this wonderful event.

I had never come across Tulku Dakpa before. What a nice, kind person. Is anyone here a student of his?

Yes, I have studied and taken empowerments from him. I like him very much. Just this spring we did a 6 day retreat with him on Jigme Lingpa's text on the 7 mind trainings from the Vima Nyingtik. Very wonderful time.

Does anybody know where we can send a donation to Rinpoche for his kindness and patience?
You can donate to the building of Tulku Dakpas new retreat center if you want: https://www.gofundme.com/danakoshaling

Excellent, is the Guruyoga included in those text or is it something that still has to be translated, inquiring minds want to know.

Malcolm said on Vajracakra that the Guru Yoga practices referred to in yesterday's event, are not found in these two books, but that they are specific to the Gongpa Zangthal, and that he and Tulku Dakpa Rinpoche will translate them.

The five nails is a part of the Gonpa Zangtal and TDR also gave "lung" for this text yesterday. The guru yogas are, if I understood correctly, not a part of the "five nails" Ngöndro practice. So it seems he gave "lung" for four texts yesterday.

What Tulku Dakpa explained to me was that in Northen Treasures, there are several different guru yoga for different cycles that get swapped in and out of the five nails depending on what cycle you are practicing.

Just to be clear, which lungs were given prior to the first reset due to technical issues?

Ok, that was unusual. Making the five nails the general Ngöndro for all the Jangter then.

Can anybody say the text is same or different?

I can't order these books cause the delivery price will be mad. I wanted to buy "Bodhisattvabhumi" by Asanga a year ago but delivery priced as two more books :? So I had to forsake this idea.

It is the five nails ngöndro text, the other books mentioned are commentaries on this text. But the main lung was Buddhahood in this life.
