The one intention is to have a sense of gentleness toward others and a willingness to be helpful to others - always. That seems to be the essence of the Bodhisattva vow. In whatever you do - sitting, walking, eating, drinking, even sleeping - you should always take the attitude of being of benefit to all sentient beings.
