The Beginning
Take refuge and arouse bodhichitta.
The Main Part
Meditate: While performing virtuous actions can lead to happy rebirths in samsara, my ultimate goal is to attain liberation and enlightenment for the benefit of all beings. Therefore, I must ensure that all my virtuous actions are performed with the three supreme methods: the preparation of arousing bodhichitta, the main part of remaining non-conceptual, and the conclusion of dedicating the merit.
I should realize that all phenomena are like a dream or an illusion, and not cling to any merit I have created. By practicing in this way, my virtuous actions will become the causes for perfect enlightenment instead of just temporary worldly happiness.
Therefore, resolve: I will always remember to dedicate the merit of every small virtue I perform for the enlightenment of all sentient beings.
The Ending
Dedicate all the merit of your practice to all sentient beings.
