43.37

Regarding the commentary's phrase "this is the happiness of the two worlds among the nine": the treatise states: "Patience of the happiness of the two worlds has nine [aspects]: namely, the bodhisattva abides in non-negligence (1); is fully able to endure all wholesome dharmas (2); is fully able to endure cold and heat (3); hunger and thirst (4); contact with mosquitoes and flies (5); wind and sun (6); contact with snakes and scorpions (7); various fatigue, worry, and distress generated by toil, whether of body or mind (8); and toward sentient beings falling into the sufferings of saṃsāra such as birth, old age, sickness, and death, manifesting pity before them and cultivating the practice of patience (9)." The seven above all have the phrase "fully able to endure." The treatise states: "Conforming patience like this attains the happiness of the two worlds." This also has the general characteristic of compassionately being mindful of sentient beings and causing them to attain the happiness of the two worlds.
