There are two parts: first, clarifying those who hear and incidentally rejoice with delight; second, clarifying the six kinds of Dharma teachers who practice correctly. This is the first. Joyfully listening directly produces immeasurable merit; here it merely presents the single \[case of\] hearing and rejoicing with delight to exemplify the rest—how could the merit of practicing oneself, urging others, and rejoicing ever be exhausted? Furthermore, above explains the Dharma teacher newly practicing; below explains the Dharma teacher of long practice, because they are great bodhisattvas. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 8.303](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1723.8.303) - [Next: 8.305](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1723.8.305) - [Up: 8](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1723.8) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1723~en-mt.8.304) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1723.8.304](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1723.8.304) · Pramāṇa
