The 5 Rewards of Listening to the Dhamma

“There are these five rewards in listening to the Dhamma. Which five?

“[1] One hears what one has not heard before.
[2] One clarifies what one has heard before.
[3] One gets rid of doubt.
[4] One’s views are made straight.
[5] One’s mind grows serene.

“These are the five rewards in listening to the Dhamma.” — Anguttara Nikaya 5:202
