Training in this way, try to bring about the arising of uncontrived bodhicitta in your mindstream as much as possible. Then, to make that mind stable, go for refuge in the way that is unique to the Mahayana and then perform the ritual of aspiring bodhicitta. Having taken hold of aspiring bodhicitta by means of the ritual, practice its trainings. Repeatedly develop the wish to train in the bodhisattva conduct - the six perfections, the four ways of gathering disciples, and so forth. Once the desire to train in it has come forth from the depths of the heart, correctly taking the vow of engaging bodhicitta.
