Fascicle seventy of the \*Yogācārabhūmi\* states: Due to three faults, one cannot hear the true Dharma without error: first, distraction; second, foolishness; third, lack of respect. There are five marks that make one a vessel for hearing and cultivation: first, a humble mind; second, a mind of practicing according to instruction; third, a mind of grasping the meaning; fourth, a mind of skillfully grasping the meaning; fifth, a respectful mind. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 3.67](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1862.3.67) - [Next: 3.69](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1862.3.69) - [Up: 3](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1862.3) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1862~en-mt.3.68) — English, machine translation ## Linked texts (1) - [十住毘婆沙論](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.sanskrit.mahayanasutra.dasabhumika!vibhasa*zh-kumarajiva.15.148) — Classical Chinese --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1862.3.68](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1862.3.68) · Pramāṇa
