“Meditating on repaying kindness [which all sentient beings have shown you when they were your mother in previous lives]:
1. Even though you do not recognize them due to birth, death, and transmigration, it would be shameful
2. To neglect those who have been kind does not accord with the well-mannered
3. As it would be inappropriate to repay the benefit with something contaminated, one should liberate them from ignorance
4. How to meditate on the essential points separately”
From Textual Outline for the Medium Treatise on the Stages of the Path to Enlightenment by Trijang Rinpoche
