金光明最勝王經疏 4.76

4.76

Patience has three kinds: first, patience enduring enmity and harm; second, patience calmly bearing suffering; third, patience discerning phenomena. Saying that one can subdue the afflictions of greed and anger is the patience enduring enmity and harm. Because one does not spare bodily life and the like, this is the patience calmly bearing suffering; it takes vigor as its essence, being able to engage in ascetic practices without seeking rest. Third, reflecting on being harmed by others in past lives and the like, one reflects on one's own past karma and endures them without anger; furthermore, through love and compassion one gathers them in, and thus endures without anger. These two are the causes of the patience enduring enmity and harm. There are five kinds of causes: 1. the conception of mere phenomena; 2. the conception of possessing suffering; 3. the conception of impermanence; 4. the conception of kin; 5. the conception of gathering in. Here it provisionally adduces two of them. As for the profound Dharma, this is the patience discerning phenomena, taking wisdom as its nature.
