Four thoughts (Tib. བློ་ལྡོག་རྣམ་བཞི, lodok nam shyi, Wyl.blo ldog rnam bzhi) — these are the four contemplations that turn the mind away from samsara, namely:

which turn the mind away from the concerns of this life;

and the reflections on

• 3) the defects of samsara, and on
• 4) action (karma: cause and effect),

which turn the mind away from our attitudes and conduct with respect to future lives.
