坐禪三昧經 2.111

2.111

菩薩見道應行三種忍法：生忍、柔順法忍、無生忍。云何生忍？一切眾生或罵或打或殺，種種惡事，心不動轉、不瞋、不恚，不唯忍之而更慈悲，此諸眾生求諸好事願一切得，心不捨放。是時漸得解諸法實相，如氣熏著。譬如慈母愛其赤子乳哺養育，種種不淨不以為惡，倍加憐念欲令得樂。行者如是，一切眾生作種種惡、淨不淨行，心不增惡不退不轉。復次十方無量眾生，我一人應當悉度使得佛道，心忍不退、不悔、不却、不懈、不厭、不畏、不難，是生忍中一心繫念。三種思惟不令外念，外念諸緣攝之令還，是名生忍。

When a bodhisattva sees the path, they should practice three kinds of forbearance: forbearance toward sentient beings, compliant forbearance toward dharmas, and the forbearance of the non-arising of dharmas. What is forbearance toward sentient beings? When all sentient beings curse, strike, or kill, doing various evil deeds, one's mind remains unmoved and unswayed, without anger or resentment; not only does one endure it, but one becomes even more compassionate, aspiring that all these sentient beings seek good things and attain them all, without abandoning them in one's mind. At that time, one gradually comes to understand the true mark of all dharmas, as if perfumed by scent. For example, a loving mother cherishes her infant child, nursing and raising it; she does not consider its various impurities as bad, but pities and cares for it doubly, wishing to bring it joy. The practitioner is like this: though all sentient beings perform various evil, pure, and impure actions, their mind does not increase in malice, nor does it regress or turn away. Furthermore, [the practitioner thinks]: 'I alone must cross over all the immeasurable sentient beings of the ten directions so that they attain the Buddha path.' With an enduring mind they do not regress, regret, withdraw, slacken, tire, fear, or falter; this is single-mindedly focusing attention within forbearance toward sentient beings. With three kinds of contemplation they do not let thoughts turn outward; they restrain external thoughts of various conditions and bring them back. This is called forbearance toward sentient beings.
