Contemplation

After reviewing the guidelines for practice, take the following as your object of contemplation:

At this time when the difficult-to-gain ship of leisure and fortune has been obtained, ceaselessly hearing, pondering and meditating day and night in order to liberate oneself and others from the ocean of cyclic existence is the Bodhisattva's practice.

from The Thirty-Seven Bodhisattva Practices by Ngulchu Thogme Zangpo
