Hearing the Teachings

"Exertion is most helpful for the final attainment of the truth... Contemplating is most helpful for exertion ... Being willing ... Desire ... Coming to an agreement through pondering dhammas ... Penetrating the meaning ... Remembering the Dhamma ... "Hearing the Dhamma is most helpful for remembering the Dhamma. If one didn't hear the Dhamma, one wouldn't remember the Dhamma..." "But what quality is most helpful for hearing the Dhamma?... " "Lending ear... If one didn't lend ear, one wouldn't hear the Dhamma..."

-Canki Sutta Majjhima Nikaya 95
