+The environment where you are doing the meditation should be properly cleaned.
+While cleaning, you should cultivate the motivation that since you are engaged
+in the task of accumulating great stores of merit by inviting the hosts of
+buddhas and bodhisattvas to this environment, it is important to have a clean
+place.  You should see that all external dirt and dust around you is basically
+a manifestation of the faults and stains within your own mind.  You should see
+that the most important aim is to purge these stains and faults from within
+your mind.  Therefore, as you cleanse the environment, think that you are also
+purifying your mind.  Develop the very strong thought that by cleaning this
+place you are inviting the hosts of buddhas and bodhisattvas who are the most
+supreme merit field, and that you will subsequently engage in a path that will
+enable you to purge your mind of the stains and delusions.
