Contemplation

The Foundation of Right View
"To cut through selfishness, contemplate the Four Reminders and generate the mahayana principle of bodhicitta. Generating the genuine compassion of loving-kindness dispels the ignorance that grasps at individual liberation. Contemplating the Four Reminders and the selflessness arising from bodicitta forms the foundation of right view. This is the view we need to take into meditation so that our meditation is not fabricated or conceptual. To generate enlightened mind, it is essential to spend time studying and contemplating these things."
