金剛般若經贊述 2.297

2.297

The commentary states: This is the second [part], comparing it with merit. That is, through thoroughly comprehending the emptiness of the two kinds of self, one attains patience; this merit surpasses the merit of that giving. Concerning “achieving patience,” there are three kinds of patience: first, the patience of innate non-arising, which means contemplating that the two marks of person and dharma, which are imagined, inherently lack intrinsic entity; second, the patience of spontaneous non-arising, contemplating that other-dependent provisional causes and conditions do not arise spontaneously; third, the patience of the non-arising of affliction and suffering, contemplating that in tathatā, affliction and suffering fundamentally never arise.
