【RELYING ON THE TEACHER】- The defining characteristics of the student

What is the required qualification for the student? Here is a quote from this commentary.

[Aryadeva states in his Four Hundred Stanzas (Catuh- sataka):

It is said that one who is nonpartisan, intelligent, and diligent

Is a vessel for listening to the teachings.

The good qualities of the instructor do not appear otherwise

Nor do those of fellow listeners.]

This will be explained later. In fact, this is referring to the three conditions for fully qualified practitioners: they are known as “non-partisan,” “intelligent,” and “diligent.” Once endowed with these qualifications, then the following good qualities will arise.

[Aryadeva says]

This commentary explains the Four Hundred Stanzas:

[that one who is endowed with the three qualities]

The one endowed with these three qualities are considered as “a vessel for listening to the teachings.”

[is suitable to listen to the teachings.]

学的人要具足什么样的条件，那有一个论。

【《四百论》曰：“说正住具慧，希求为闻器，不变说者德，亦不转听者。 ”】

这个下面会解释的，下面会解释的。 实际上这个里边啊，说真正具足条件的修学的人，应该具有三个条件，叫做“正住”、“具慧”、“希求”。他有了这个条件啊，才能够产生下面这样的功德。

【《释论》解云：】

解释那个《四百论》的，说：

【“说具三法 】

具上面这个三样条件的人啊，那个则【“堪为闻器”】。
