Dependent Origination against Anger The first major metaphysical discussion in the Bodhicaryāvatāra is in chapter six, praising the virtue of patient endurance (kṣānti) against anger. Śāntideva appears to divide patient endurance into three varieties which, as Crosby and Skilton (45) note, effectively correspond to sections of the chapter12: the patient endurance that is the enduring of suffering 11 For a discussion and defense of this approach to Śāntideva, see Lele Revaluation 13– 29. There I also defend reading the Bodhicaryāvatāra together with the Śikṣāsamuccaya, which plays a larger role in the dissertation than it does here. 12 The list of three varieties of kṣānti does not appear in the BCA proper, but it appears both in the Śikṣāsamuccaya, traditionally attributed to Śāntideva (ŚS 179), and in Prajñākaramati's commentary on BCA VI.9 (BCAP 172). 262 Lele, The Metaphysical Basis of Śāntideva's Ethics (duṣkhâdhivāsanakṣānti); the patient endurance from reflecting on the dharma (dharmanidhyānakṣānti); and the patient endurance that is patience toward others' wrongdoing (parâpakāramarṣaṇakṣānti).
