### [3.49](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2127.3.49)

廣百論云。要具三德名法器。一稟性柔和無有偏黨。常自審察。不貪己利。二常希勝解。求法無厭。不守己分。而生喜足。三為性聰惠於善惡言。能正了知得失差別。若無如是。三德雖有。師資終無勝利。

> The Śata-śāstra-vaipulya says: ‘One must possess three virtues to be called a vessel of the Dharma: first, being gentle in nature and free from bias, constantly examining oneself, and not greedy for personal gain; second, constantly aspiring to superior understanding, seeking the Dharma insatiably, and not resting content in one’s own limits; third, being intelligent and wise in nature, able to understand correctly the distinctions between gain and loss in good and bad words. Without these three virtues, even if one has masters and disciples, there will ultimately be no superior benefit.’”
