Tri-lung is actually the teaching on the Mandarva sadhana, "tri" means instruction and "lung" oral transmission. So Rinpoche reads a few lines from the text in Tibetan and then explain what to do at that point in the practice.
I will be attending all of Rinpoche's sessions, so I won't be missing out on the other lungs, this time I will use Edge from the start.I'm pretty new to Dzogchen and currently rereading Guru Yoga specifically looking for ways to integrate Dzogchen practice within my daily activities. Here are some excerpts from pp.43-46 you might find interesting.

A few years later the beautiful Guruyoga book was compiled with its array of Vajrayana guruyoga styles and AFAIK no condoning of any simpler approach. Do you think this means anything, i.e. that he no longer recommends a pared down guruyoga option?
I ask just b/c there are certain busy moments in life when that quick, simple form seems useful.

Receiving many teachings or learning a lot of practices is not the principal point. … [M]any secondary practices exist that we can learn to do, but it is important to understand that this is not the main point. As I always repeat, the principal point of Dzogchen is Guruyoga.
…
[Garab Dorje’s second statement, “do not remain in doubt”] means that it is only possible to overcome doubt with direct experience.
…
All practices have to be connected with the transmission and with Guruyoga. There is no other way to come to know our real state, and this is why Guruyoga is indispensable. It is not necessary, though, to do complex Guruyoga practices, reciting many verses in Tibetan and doing complicated visualizations; you can apply Guruyoga in a very simple and essential way. It is enough to sound A and visualize a five colored thigle at the center of your body. The white A and the thigle is a symbol of our three primordial potentialities (sound, light, and rays). Then, in this clarity, we maintain presence in the primordial state.
…
So it is extremely important that you do Guruyoga every time you remember it. There is no need for a particular place or a set time. You can do Guruyoga in every circumstance.
No clue about metal mice, but Feb 22 is a good day in general -- unlike Feb 29.

Yes, I know that, but I'm not sure about the status of GY. I bought it over a year ago, before (although in preparation for) my first WWT. When ordering it I indicated on the form that I had not had any prior instruction from ChNN.amanitamusc wrote: ↑Fri Feb 16, 2018 7:32 pmIf a text is restricrd then it should not be quoted from.
FWIW I bought the GY book too. Well in any event, the quoting is over and I’ll bear in mind to paraphrase or something next time. Side note, I really appreciate the community discussion that happens on this thread. I’ve learned a lot and am totally grateful.Jeff H wrote: ↑Fri Feb 16, 2018 10:02 pmYes, I know that, but I'm not sure about the status of GY.

My stream started when the practice had already begun. Is this lung the same as the one Rinpoche gives at the end of retreats? I think I already have that, can I follow along for the rest of the days?
