難壞者，志堅不怯，決定取辦。《詩》云：我心匪石，不可轉也；我心匪席，不可卷也。所以然者，以知生死定為苦故；以知佛果必為樂故；以知眾生與己無異，足可度故。由是千化不變其慮，萬境順通其道，乃至喪身致命，不捨菩提之心。故《寶藏論》云：決歸者不顧其疲，決戰者不顧其死，決學者不顧其身，決道者不重其事，此其難壞也。

"Indestructible": with firm resolve and without fear, resolutely carrying it to completion. The *Classic of Poetry* says: "My mind is not a stone; it cannot be turned; / My mind is not a mat; it cannot be rolled." Why is this so? Because one knows saṃsāra is definitely suffering; because one knows the Buddha-fruit is definitely bliss; because one knows sentient beings are no different from oneself and fully capable of being liberated. Because of this, a thousand transformations do not alter one's intention, ten thousand conditions smoothly open up one's path, and even to losing one's body and giving up one's life, one does not abandon the bodhimind. Therefore the *Baozang lun* says: "One determined to return disregards fatigue; one determined to battle disregards death; one determined to study disregards one's body; one determined on the Way does not hold affairs dear." This is its indestructibility.
