"A worthy recipient is someone who respects their master with great faith, takes delight in [[Dharma]] practice with great [[diligence]], has sharp mental faculties with great intelligence, and is able to keep the secrecy of the [[samaya]]s. The teachings should be given to a person whose temper is steady, like the flow of a river, whose character is precise like spiritual practice, whose intentions are excellent like gold, whose mind is stable like a mountain, and who is able to surrender their body and possessions to the Dharma and one's master." 

[[Padmasambhava]], precious master of [[Uddiyana]], has taught in detail on the necessity of having faith, diligence, and discriminating knowledge, and how one is not a suitable recipient for this [[Secret Mantra]] when lacking faith. (notes #211 & 212, [[LW1]], pg. 257. ([[JOKYAB]]) ([[RY]]).
