【THE THREE TYPES OF PERSONS】- during the stages of persons of small and medium capacities, practice going for refuge, karma & its effects etc.

【 Accordingly, you work at many ways of purifying yourself of nonvirtue and accumulating virtue using the practices for developing both the attitude that is shared with persons of small capacity and the attitude that is shared with persons of medium capacity. These are practices such as going for refuge, and thinking about karma and its effects. Understand that these too help you to develop the spirit of enlightenment, 】

Well, since we have an understanding of the two stages of the shared medium and small capacities, what should we practice? The proper practices should be taking refuge and karma! The author first says, “thinking about.” This is saying, at that stage our actual approaches to practice should be taking refuge and karma. Moreover, once you understand this reasoning, strive quickly to “purify nonvirtue and accumulate virtue.” We should know, what are these practices? They are all preparations for the spirit of enlightenment.

【 because they correspond to either the seven branches of worship or the practice of refuge, 】

What are all these for? These practices are the most special methods for us to improve and purify our minds. These practices are taking refuge and the seven branches of worship.
