Furthermore, the *Sanqian weiyi jing* states: “Whenever one wishes to get onto a bed, one must be equipped with seven dharmas: first, get onto the bed slowly and deliberately; second, one must not crawl onto it; third, do not make the bed make noise; fourth, do not dust the bed vigorously so as to make a sound; fifth, do not click the tongue loudly, sigh, and reflect on worldly affairs; sixth, do not sleep huddled together like dogs; seventh, one should rise early in accordance with the seasons.” Furthermore, the *Bodhisattvabhūmi* states: “If one sees sentient beings, one should console and inquire after them, greet them with a pleasant countenance before speaking, look straight at them with a gentle expression, and keep correct mindfulness before oneself. If a bodhisattva knows that other sentient beings have genuine merits, but out of hatred does not speak of them to others or praise them, or when others praise them does not say ‘Sadhu!’, this is called an infraction, an infraction of multiple offenses, because it arises from defilement.” The Liang version of the *Mahāyānasaṃgraha* states: “When a bodhisattva sees sentient beings, he should smile pleasantly and speak first, and only then converse together.” Thus the *Mahīśāsaka-vinaya* states: “One who does not practice kṣānti has five faults: first, ferocious intolerance; second, subsequent regret; third, being disliked by many; fourth, evil reputation spreading; fifth, at death falling into the evil destinies.”
