Dear Phillip,

Tara’s Triple Excellence is from a different practice cycle than the Tukdrub Barchey Kunsel, which means the samayas are not quite the same. However, Rinpoche has explained before that in order to keep the samayas we received at these empowerments, we do not necessarily need to do either the protector practice or the Concise Manual for Daily practice on a daily basis. Once a week, for example, would still maintain the continuity of practice.

I hope this helps to answer your question.

I receive a lot of error messages when I do things even though the action still seems to work. So I accepted three friend requests, and for every one I got an error message, and then the notification that the friend request had been (successfully) accepted. Same with reading notifications. It tells me “there was a problem marking that notification” and yet the notification is well marked as read. So that’s what I’ve noticed in my tiny experience with this website… Looks great though! 🙂
