|text=In chapter 6 . . . | |text=In chapter 6 Śāntideva moves his discussion to focus on the topic of patience, the antidote to the most destructive emotion of anger. The chapter consists of verses on overcoming anger, cultivating patience, and respecting all sentient beings. Anger, according to Śāntideva, is never justified, and is an emotion wholly destructive of positively accumulated karma. As this is the case, Śāntideva instructs through rational argument why the spiritual aspirant should see enemies not as objects worthy of anger or retaliation but rather as beings caught in the grips of their own afflictive emotions. | ||
