The Beginning
Take refuge and arouse bodhichitta.
The Main Part
Meditate on the four enlightened activities of the teacher: The teacher performs the activity of pacifying to remove obstacles and suffering, the activity of enriching to increase merit and wisdom, the activity of magnetizing to bring beings under the influence of the Dharma, and the activity of subjugating to overcome negative forces and ignorance.
I should realize that everything the teacher does, whether gentle or forceful, is an expression of these four activities for my benefit. I should have complete trust in the teacher's skillful means and be ready to follow their guidance in any situation.
Therefore, resolve: I will pray to the teacher to grant me the attainment of these four activities so that I too can benefit all sentient beings.
The Ending
Dedicate all the merit of your practice to all sentient beings.
