The benefits of hearing
By hearing one knows all dharmas;
By hearing one can halt the advance of all evils;
By hearing one can end meaningless matters;
By hearing one can attain Nirvana.
The ways to listen
Like a vessel to hold water,
Like a seed to be planted in the ground,
One should avoid the three mistakes (desire, anger and ignorance)
By listening attentively, thoughtfully, and mindfully.
