法華義疏 2.253

2.253

「又見佛子住忍辱力」下，第三、明忍度。此中明菩薩忍辱者，以見有眾生為可恥辱，知眾生畢竟無生名為無生忍，法忍亦爾。《阿含經》云「有六種力，小兒以啼為力，欲有所索要必先啼；女人以瞋為力，欲有所索要必前瞋；國王以憍豪為力；羅漢以精進為力；諸佛以大悲為力；比丘以忍辱為力。」「增上慢人惡罵捶打」者，蜜破小也。以保執小乘自謂究竟，名增上慢。馬鞭木名之為捶。

From "Again seeing sons of the Buddha abiding in the power of forbearance" below is the third, explaining the perfection of forbearance. Here, bodhisattvas practicing forbearance means: regarding seeing that there are sentient beings as shameful and humiliating, knowing that sentient beings are ultimately unarisen is called the forbearance of the non-arising of dharmas; the forbearance of phenomena is also like this. An *Āgama* sūtra says: "There are six kinds of power: a small child takes crying as power—wishing to demand something, they must first cry; a woman takes anger as power—wishing to demand something, she will first become angry; a king takes arrogance and pride as power; an arhat takes vigor as power; the Buddhas take great compassion as power; a monk takes forbearance as power." Regarding "arrogant persons reviling and beating with sticks": this is [crushing] the Hīnayāna. Tenaciously clinging to the Hīnayāna and considering oneself to have attained the ultimate is called "arrogance." The wood of a horsewhip is called a "stick" (捶).
