The text begins with the author's homage and then the statement of his commitment. The author pays homage to the guide and spiritual mentor Vajrasattva in the first stanza of the root text. This text provides a brief instruction on how to accomplish the mind of Vajrasattva by way of apprehending and transforming dreams. The teaching is divided into two parts: the preparatory part of the training and the actual training itself.

The preparatory stages of the training involve the preliminary practices, called ngondro. The ngondro is likened to the preparation of a field for planting crops. Initially, you prepare the field as best as you can, removing all the unwanted weeds, stones, boulders and so forth, making the soil as fertile, rich and workable as possible. This is the same procedure needed in spiritual training. In order to prepare the field of your mind according to this system, you perform the preliminary practices. The preliminary practices employ specific skillful methods to weed out the grosser delusions in the mindstream and prepare the mind for the stages of practice and realization that follow, such as deity generation, dissolution, the Great Perfection, and so forth.
