Unmoved by the Eight Winds
Furthermore, Maitreya! What is meant by the pāramitā of patience (kṣānti-pāramitā)?
When reviled by others, contemplate that the sound is like an echo in a valley.
When struck, contemplate that this body is like a reflection in a mirror.
When hated by others, contemplate that the mind [of hatred] is like an illusion.
When anger arises within oneself, contemplate that the true mind is undisturbed.
When gaining benefit, contemplate that the true mind is already tamed, and no joy arises.
When losing benefit, contemplate that the true mind is wondrously still, and no anger arises.
When slandered, contemplate that this body is like empty space, and one should not retaliate.
When receiving praise, contemplate that the true mind is free of pride, and does not become elevated.
When receiving acclaim, contemplate that the true mind is inherently empty (yet all-encompassing) and still, and no gladness arises.
When mocked or disliked, contemplate that the true mind is free from fear, and no worry or rumination arises.
When encountering suffering, contemplate that the true mind is, by nature, free of suffering.
When experiencing pleasure, contemplate that the true mind abides eternally, unchanging, beyond suffering or pleasure.
When the bodhisattva mahāsattva abides in patience, the eight winds thus cannot move or shift them.
