    • A human attribute which partakes of the divine (the only truly unmoved entity in the cosmos).
    • Referenced in this passage from the Vimalakirti Sutra
      • ... when a bodhisattva considers all living beings in this way, he thinks: ‘Just as I have realized the Dharma, so should I teach it to living beings.’ Thereby, he generates the love that is truly a refuge for all living beings; the love that is peaceful because free of grasping ...the love that is imperturbable because totally ultimate.
      • Many times that's what life is, one vile task after another. But don't get aggravated – then the enemy has you by the short hair. – Al Swearengen
