Here we experience Shantideva’s kind heart. He asks us to be calm. No matter who behaves improperly, enemies or friends, don’t get so heated up and opinionated. Be calm and practice patience, in this case, by reflecting on the fact that why they do what they do is not so obvious. It arises from a variety of causes and conditions.

This ends the section on the second kind of patience: the patience that comes from realizing the complex reality of all situations. Verses 34 through 51 explore the third kind of patience: the patience that comes from developing tolerance.

6.34

If things occurred to living beings

Following their wishes and intentions,

How could sorrow ever come to them—

For there is no one who desires to suffer?
