“This then, Śāriputra, is how the bodhisatva will approach the training. If someone beats him with stones, sticks, or weapons for a hundred thousand million billion eons but does not kill him, his reaction will be, ‘It is wonderful that these noble sentient beings do not rob me of my life.’ Furthermore, he will approach the training in this way: [MS.82.b] ‘Even if they were to chop off my head as many times as there are grains of sand in the river Ganges before I could take the first seven steps, I would still not become annoyed or angry. Why is this? Anger, that which is called anger, destroys the roots of virtue that have been accumulated over a hundred thousand eons. Then, I would have to accumulate roots of virtue for another hundred thousand eons, and unsurpassed perfect awakening would be that much harder to achieve. It would be that much harder to meet with the Dharma. Therefore, we must don the armor that is the power of patient acceptance.’
