These are distinctive qualities of the second patience. {12}
“They remain in that kind of samādhi of peace.
They attain certainty of the mind,
And in their meditation there is no ‘being.’
These are distinctive qualities of the second patience. {13}
“With buddha wisdom they teach the Dharma
To all of the beings who are in the world,
And they are able to remember all that they have taught.
These are distinctive qualities of the second patience. {14}
“They see the lords of the worlds in all directions:
East, south, west, and north,
Above, below, and in the intermediate directions.
These are distinctive qualities of the third patience. {15}
“They have a body that is the color of gold
And emanate countless manifestations,
Teaching the Dharma to many millions of beings.
These are distinctive qualities of the third patience. {16}
“Each such bodhisattva appears throughout
This buddha realm of Jambudvīpa
And is renowned also among the devas and asuras.
These are distinctive qualities of the third patience. {17}
“The bodhisattvas train in accordance
With the field of activity of the buddhas
And the conduct of the sugatas.
These are distinctive qualities of the third patience. {18}
“If the beings that are in this world
Were to recite the praises of the bodhisattvas
And they were to take great joy in that
Then they would not be trained in the Buddha’s wisdom. {19}
“If all the beings that are in this world
Were to speak badly to the bodhisattvas,
And if they were to become angry toward them,
Then they would still not be trained in the Buddha’s wisdom. {20}
“If they gain wealth it does not make them happy;
If they do not gain wealth it does not make them unhappy.
Their minds always remain like a mountain.
These are distinctive qualities of the third patience. {21}
“These three patiences are taught to be the patience regarding what is spoken,
The patience that is beneficial for contemplation and meditation,
And the patience, from listening to the Dharma, regarding birthlessness.
These trainings are the path to enlightenment.³¹⁰ {22}
“When the bodhisattvas attain
These three unsurpassable patiences,
They see the supreme humans, the sugatas,³¹¹
And they give them the prophecy of their stainless enlightenment. {23}
