> Furthermore, the Upāsakaśīla-sūtra says: The Buddha said, 'One who abides according to the Dharma can benefit both oneself and others; one who does not abide according to the Dharma cannot be said to benefit oneself and others. One who abides according to the Dharma possesses eight knowledges. What are the eight? First, knowledge of the Dharma; second, knowledge of meaning; third, knowledge of time; fourth, knowledge of contentment; fifth, knowledge of self and other; sixth, knowledge of assemblies; seventh, knowledge of faculties; eighth, knowledge of superior and inferior. Such a person is endowed with these eight knowledges. Whenever they preach, it is endowed with sixteen things: first, speaking in season; second, speaking with an earnest mind; third, speaking in proper sequence; fourth, speaking harmoniously; fifth, speaking in accordance with meaning; sixth, speaking with joy; seventh, speaking appropriately to the intention; eighth, speaking without despising the assembly; ninth, speaking without rebuking the assembly; tenth, speaking in accordance with the Dharma; eleventh, speaking for the benefit of both self and other; twelfth, speaking without distraction; thirteenth, speaking in accord with truth; fourteenth, speaking correctly and uprightly; fifteenth, not conceiving arrogance after speaking; sixteenth, not seeking future-life retribution after speaking. Such a person is capable of listening to others. When listening to others, they are endowed with sixteen things: first, listening in season; second, listening with delight; third, listening with an earnest mind; fourth, listening with reverence; fifth, listening without seeking faults; sixth, listening not for the sake of debate; seventh, listening not for the sake of triumph; eighth, when listening, not looking down on the speaker; ninth, when listening, not looking down on the Dharma; tenth, when listening, never looking down on oneself; eleventh, when listening, leaving the five hindrances far behind; twelfth, when listening, doing so to uphold, recite, and chant; thirteenth, when listening, doing so to eliminate the five desires; fourteenth, when listening, doing so to perfect faithful conviction; fifteenth, when listening, doing so to tame sentient beings; sixteenth, when listening, doing so to sever the roots of darkness. Good sons, one who possesses the eight knowledges can speak and can listen. Such a person can benefit both self and other. One who is not fully endowed with them cannot be said to benefit oneself and benefit others.'
