The Buddha says that this is not an easy thing to do; he who preaches to a large audience must see, (1) that his talk has a logical reference, (2) that it has reasoning (pariyaya), (3) that it is inspired by kindness (daya), (4) that it is not for worldly gain, (5) that it causes pain to no one. A.iii.184.
