With regard to how we actually listen to Dharma, it is said that we should be free from the three faults of a defective vessel, and possess the six positive aspects of listening.
In the Sutras we find the repeated injunction "Listen well, and fully, and retain what you have heard in your mind!" This is reference to avoiding the three defects of a faulty vessel.
