Ninth, in clarifying the conditions for regression, the Yogācārabhūmi-śāstra states: "There are four causes and conditions that can cause a bodhisattva to regress from the bodhimind: first, having incomplete lineage (gotra); second, being influenced by bad friends; third, having weak compassion toward sentient beings; fourth, being cowardly, fearful, and alarmed by the great suffering of prolonged saṃsāra and the difficult austerities."
