Patience of Unconcern with Harming is, when all beings rise up as enemies and abuse you, on top of analysing and not getting angry, to practise helping them, in return for the harm. Patience of Willingly Bearing Suffering is to accept with joy being lacking in food and clothing, dwelling and so on; unwanted things, such as disease; and sufferings that arise for the sake of the Dharma. Patience of Certain Thought about Dharma is to generate heartfelt confidence and conviction about such devotion-objects as the Three Jewels. Henceforth I shall train with diligence in the practise of these three aspects of Patience. Please inspire me so that I can do this!
