The ritual is described as including:

  • ten contemplations aimed at excluding saṃsāra;
  • seven recollections/thoughts directed toward liberation;
  • a procedure for stabilizing bodhicitta.

This gives us a structured deathbed contemplative technology rather than merely funerary prayer after death.
