Furthermore, there are four matters: First, sentient beings violating grave precepts, who, although anxious and fearful, are nevertheless negligent. Second, seeing sentient beings generating extreme evil, suffering the five [actions of] immediate [retribution], viciously and stubbornly blinding themselves, without giving rise to shame or conscience. Third, seeing sentient beings slandering the true Dharma of the Mahāyāna and the Vaipulya, stubbornly clinging in sheer stupidity, and thus giving rise to arrogance. Fourth, seeing sentient beings who, although possessing intelligence, completely sever their wholesome roots, conversely becoming conceited and forever lacking remorse, failing to practice the true Dharma.
