佛說仁王般若波羅蜜經 1.18

1.18

白佛言：「世尊！護十地行菩薩云何行可行？云何行化眾生？以何相眾生可化？」佛言：「大王！五忍是菩薩法：伏忍上中下、信忍上中下、順忍上中下、無生忍上中下、寂滅忍上下，名為諸佛菩薩修般若波羅蜜。

[King Prasenajit] said to the Buddha: "World-Honoured One! How can bodhisattvas who protect the practice of the ten stages practice what may be practiced? How do they practice so as to convert sentient beings? By what characteristics may sentient beings be converted?"
The Buddha said: "Great King! The five patiences are the bodhisattva dharma: subduing patience in superior, middling, and lower [grades]; faith patience in superior, middling, and lower [grades]; compliance patience in superior, middling, and lower [grades]; non-arising patience in superior, middling, and lower [grades]; and quiescent cessation patience in superior and lower [grades]. These are called the practice of prajñāpāramitā by all buddhas and bodhisattvas.
