3. How to practice the six transcendent perfections when you listen to the Dharma teaching, release captive living beings or chanting sutra? Please explain one after another in detail. What kind of inspiration do you get from this?
4. According to Vinaya, Dharma should not be taught to what kind of people? When listening to the Dharma, if one fails to act in tune with Dharma, what will be the result? What is the right way to listen to the Dharma?
