“Furthermore, Śāriputra, when the bodhisatva, the great being, practices the perfection of wisdom, he trains in this way by purifying his intellect and by completely cleansing the doors through which he perceives phenomena. There are two causes, two conditions, from which the right view of the noble ones arises. What are these two causes, these two conditions? They are the words of others, and a non-superficial understanding of oneself. He thinks, ‘What are the words of others, and what does it mean to understand oneself in a way that is not superficial?’ If he considers this carefully, he will think, ‘Those bodhisatvas who engage in spiritual training but have not learned this cycle of teachings that is contained in The Collected Teachings on the Bodhisatva, those who have not heard the noble teachings on discipline but are fascinated by the practice of the concentrations, will only end up strengthening their selfish arrogance. They will not become free from birth, aging, sickness, death, pain, despair, suffering, depression, and struggle. They will not become free from the whole mass of suffering.’ With this in mind, the Tathāgata gives this advice: ‘If one listens to others with an open mind, one will be freed from aging and death.’ ”
