+When you explain or hear the teachings, if your mind and the teachings remain
+separate, then whatever is explained will be inconsequential.  Hence, listen
+in such a way that you determine how these teachings apply to your mind.  For
+example, when you want to find out whether or not there is some smudge, dirt,
+or whatever, on your face, you look in a mirror and then remove whatever is
+there.  Similarly, when you listen to the teachings, your faults such as
+misconduct and attachment appear in the mirror of the teachings.  At that
+time, you regret that your mind has become like this, and you then work to
+clear away those faults and establish good qualities.
