Five qualities (thoughts, in a teacher) for teaching Dhamma:
1. I will speak step-by-step
2. I will speak explaining the sequence of cause and effect
3. I will speak out of compassion
4. I will speak not for the purpose of material reward
5. I will speak without hurting myself or others
(from Anguttara Nikaya 5.159)
