Contemplation: Wondrous, Luminous, and Pure

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

"Know then that your mind is fundamentally wondrous, luminous, and pure.  You have confused yourself and lost track of what is fundamental.  Constantly drifting and drowning, you have become submerged in the sea of death and rebirth.  That is why the Thus-Come One says you are to be pitied."

Surangama Sutra (2009), p. 57
