+  Hark!  In order to be of maximum benefit to the countless living beings,
+whose number is as vast as the extent of the skies, one must first gain the
+state of peerless, complete, perfect buddhahood.  It is with this thought in
+mind that one receives initiation, the root of the Vajrayana path, and then
+engages in the various Tantric yogas.
+  Contemplate this theme, and by means of it generate the sublime bodhi-mind
+as the motivating factor.  Also, cultivate the correct attitudes that are to
+be maintained when listening to the Dharma, as is explained in the many sutras
+and tantras, and thus listen correctly.
+  The Buddha, who himself achieved complete enlightenment and who possessed
+profound skill and great compassion, taught the nectarlike Dharma in
+accordance with the mental tendencies, capacities, and karmic predispositions
+of those to be trained.
