○第九、安忍者：能忍成道事，不動亦不退，是心名「薩埵」。始觀陰界至識次位八法，障轉慧開；或未入品，或入初品，神智爽利。若鋒刃飛霜觸物斯斷，初心聰叡有逾於此。本不聽學，能解經論；覽他義疏，洞識宗途；欲釋一條，辯不可盡。

> Ninth: Patient endurance. Being able to endure the matters of attaining the Way, neither shaken nor regressing, this mind is called 'sattva.' From the initial contemplation of the aggregates and sense realms up to discerning the eight dharmas of the stages, obstacles turn aside and wisdom opens. Whether one has not yet entered the ranks or has entered the initial rank, one's spirit and intelligence become sharp and bright. Like a sharp blade flying through frost that cuts everything it touches, the intelligence of this initial mind surpasses even this. Even without having formally studied, one can understand the sūtras and treatises; glancing at another's commentaries, one penetrates their central tenets; wishing to explain a single point, one's eloquence is inexhaustible.
