[[body, speech, mind, and cognition]]. Concerning the four factors of body, speech, mind, and cognition ([[lus ngag yid sems bzhi]]), mind refers to the [[mind consciousness]] ([[yid kyi rnam shes]]) and [[cognition]] ([[sems]]) refers to the [[all-ground consciousness]]. In the Lower [[Abhidharma]] it is taught that [[yid]], [[sems]] and [[rnam shes]] are merely synonyms for the same meaning.

In general, all the teachings to be practiced are considered trainings in generating [[bodhichitta]].  But in particular, the trainings in the [[bodhichitta of aspiration]] are not to abandon concern for sentient beings through keeping their benefit in mind, to gather the [[accumulation(s)]] and cultivate the [[four immeasurables]], and to adopt the four white and avoid the four black deeds.  (see [[eight black and white deeds]]).


The trainings in the [[bodhichitta of application]] come in detail below (in [[The Light of Wisdom]]): the way of training in the [[six paramitas]] and the four means of attraction, comprised of the three kinds of training.
