The single patience of marvelous enlightenment severs and does not subdue, comparable to the path of liberation. The single patience of non-arising both subdues and severs, and is both unimpeded and liberated. If we discuss the general sense: marvelous enlightenment and the patience of quiescent extinction are also called the patience of non-arising. The Mahāparinirvāṇa-sūtra says: “Nieh means non-arising; pan means non-extinction. Non-arising and non-extinction is called great nirvāṇa.” It is also called the patience of subduing. The Renwang jing says: “From the initial aspiration up to the vajra summit, all are named the patience of subduing.” Subduing has the meaning of the worthy; Samantabhadra Bodhisattva stands at the summit of the assembly of those who subdue. Since the patience of subduing is general, compliant patience can be understood accordingly. Since subduing and compliance extend upward, quiescent extinction and non-arising must also extend downward. The Viśeṣacintibrahma-paripṛcchā-sūtra says: “All sentient beings are identical with the cessation absorption.” The Vimalakīrtinirdeśa says: “All sentient beings are suchness.” Suchness is precisely the patience of non-arising. Moreover, in terms of phenomena, it is non-arising; in terms of principle, it is quiescent extinction. Furthermore, partial realization is quiescent extinction, while yielding to fruition is non-arising. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 5.40](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1716.5.40) - [Next: 5.42](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1716.5.42) - [Up: 5](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1716.5) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1716~en-mt.5.41) — English, machine translation ## Linked texts (1) - [維摩經略疏](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1778.1.127) — Classical Chinese --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1716.5.41](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1716.5.41) · Pramāṇa
