The Tundruk practice runs six times a day at fixed hours. Each session is a vow renewal — not an aspiration, not a prayer, but a commitment made at a specific moment that either held or didn't. The record exists not to create guilt, but to create honesty: to make visible the gap between the vow as stated and the vow as lived, so that the gap can be worked on.
The Six-Session Structure
1st Vow: 7:00 AM through 6th Vow: 9:00 PM — six session anchors across the waking day — create the temporal structure of the practice. Each session has four associated fields: the vow content, the positive outcome (+), the negative outcome (-), and the corrective intention (to do). This four-field structure at each session is the complete accountability cycle: what was intended, what went well, what failed, and what the corrective action is.
The + and - fields aren't a binary pass/fail. They're the qualitative assessment of how the specific vow expressed in behavior during that session. A vow of patience logged with a negative entry at the 12:00 noon session reflects a specific incident in that time window — the irritability at the slow queue, the impatient email sent before the response could be thought through. The to do field is the specific resolution for the next session or the next day.
Reflection and Closing Practice
Three Best Actions and Three Worst Actions at the day level create the daily retrospective that operates across all six sessions rather than within any individual one. This is the record where patterns become visible — the best action that appeared consistently across multiple days reveals what the practitioner actually does well; the worst action that keeps appearing is the practice area that isn't responding to the session-level corrections.
Meditation documents the formal sitting practice. In traditions where daily meditation is a practice commitment separate from the vow renewal sessions, having the meditation record in the same daily record as the vow sessions keeps the complete practice visible in a single entry. A day where the vow sessions were conscientious but the meditation was skipped looks different in the record from a day where both were present.
Additional Vows handles supplementary commitments taken outside the six standard sessions — specific vows taken in response to a teaching, a personal resolution, or a guidance from a teacher. Special Notes carries the narrative that the structured fields can't hold: the teaching received that day, the specific circumstance behind a difficult session, the insight that arose during meditation.
How To is the reference field — the practice instructions attached to the record for consultation when a session requires specific guidance. In a complex practice like Tundruk, where the procedure for each vow renewal follows a defined ritual structure, having the instructions accessible within the same record as the tracking data means the practice can be done correctly even without an external text at hand.
