"Maitreya, there are further two dharmas by which bodhisattvas, though having faith and understanding regarding the profound Dharma, still harm themselves and are unable to attain the patience of the non-arising of dharmas. What are the two? First, slighting novice bodhisattvas and failing to instruct them. Second, though understanding the profound Dharma, grasping at marks and making discriminations. These are the two dharmas." / Third, specifically distinguishing senior practitioners. The two dharmas are: first, slighting novices and thereby destroying one's own great compassion; second, delighting in discrimination and thereby ruining one's own great wisdom. Now, to realize the patience of non-arising requires both compassion and wisdom to be completely perfected. Having these two flaws harms one's own cultivation and realization. The text has three parts, as can be seen.
