The Yogācārabhūmi Śāstra says: 'What is called forbearance? Being free of resentment oneself and not retaliating against another's malice is called forbearance. By two conditions, those who leave home exert effort to receive and practice it, and can swiftly realize the benefit of a śramaṇa. What are the two conditions? 1. Forbearance of insult; 2. Gentleness. As for forbearance of insult, it means never retaliating against another's enmity. As for gentleness, it means the mind is free from indignation and does not afflict others.' ○ The Mahāyānasaṃgraha says: 'Forbearance can generate the peace of self and other. That is, one's own body is not tainted by the fault of anger; this is one's own peace. When one does not resent, one does not cause suffering to others; this is the peace of others.' ○ The Liudu Ji Jing says: 'Now, forbearance is the source of ten thousand blessings.' ○ The Saddharmasmṛtyupasthāna Sūtra says: 'Forbearance is the foremost wholesome dharma, the foremost purity, praised by the Buddhas. Forbearance is of two kinds: 1. Dharma forbearance: contemplating in connection with the path of Dharma, being able to forbear because the pure dharmas and wholesome paths are superior; 2. Sentient-being forbearance: when anger is about to arise, forbearing and preventing it from arising, because one knows the faults of anger.'
