All the achievements of the goals- from now up to the attainment of buddhahood-
Depend on the excellent teachers.
But people are accepting whoever is available
Without examinating and analyzing them,
Like picking up
goods in a cheap fair.
Alas! People of the dark age are strange.
There are ten qualities that Dharma teachers must enjoy.
Asanga lists them:
You should have a teacher who is tamed ( with moral discipline), peaceful ( with contemplation), very peaceful ( with wisdom realisation), more learned (than you), enthusiastic ( to help others), well versed ( in the three divisions of scriptures).
Having realised the true nature, skilled in teaching.
Kind ( in teaching), and indefatigable 9 in teaching).
