Otherwise initiation should not be given to him (as) he (would not achieve) success in the Kula teachings. [...]  The evil soul who gets angry (roṣita) with (his) teacher or talks back (disrespectfully) is certainly destroyed as is rotten food. The disciple must never be angry with his teacher whether in speech, mind or with the actions of (his) body. [...]”.

Son of good family, the patience of the Bodhisattva becomes like the expanse of the sky when he is endowed with the four dharmas. What are those four? To wit, 1) never responding to abuse with more abuse because the speech is like open space; 2) never responding to beatings with more beatings because the body is like open space; 3) never responding to insults with more insults because the thought is like open space; 4) never responding to anger (roṣita) with more anger because the intention is like open space. When he is endowed with those four dharmas, son of good family, the patience of the Bodhisattvas becomes like open space”.
