In Buddhism
Mahayana (major branch of Buddhism)
Source: Wisdom Library: Maha Prajnaparamita Sastra1) °á¹£Än³Ù¾± (कà¥à¤·à¤¾à¤¨à¥à¤¤à¤¿) or °á¹£Än³Ù¾±á¹›á¹£i is the name of a Bhiká¹£u according to the 2nd century MahÄprajñÄpÄramitÄÅ›Ästra (chapter VII).—“When people come to insult him, strike him, beat him, slash him, tear off his skin, cut him to pieces and take his life, his mind feels no hatred (»å±¹±ðá¹£a). Thus, when king Kia li (Kali) cut off his hands (hasta), feet (±èÄå»å²¹), ears (°ì²¹°ùṇa) and nose (²ÔÄå²õÄå), the Bhiká¹£u Tchan (°á¹£Än³Ù¾±) kept a strong mind (»åṛḳó²¹-³¦¾±³Ù³Ù²¹) without emotion (acala)â€�.
Note: In the MahÄvastu his name is °á¹£Än³Ù¾±vÄdin or °á¹£Än³Ù¾±vÄda. He was born under the name of Kuṇá¸aka into a rich family from KÄsi or Benares or into a brahmin family in the city of PÅ«tana in southern India.
2) °á¹£Än³Ù¾± (कà¥à¤·à¤¾à¤¨à¥à¤¤à¤¿) refers to a set of “two patiencesâ€�, representing qualities acquired by the Bodhisattvas accompanying the Buddha at ¸éÄåÂá²¹²µá¹›h²¹ on the ³Òá¹›d³ó°ù²¹°ìÅ«á¹a±è²¹°ù±¹²¹³Ù²¹, according to the 2nd century MahÄprajñÄpÄramitÄÅ›Ästra chapter X. There are two kinds of patiences (°ìá¹£Än³Ù¾±):
- patience towards beings (sattva°ìá¹£Än³Ù¾±),
- patience towards dharmas (dharma°ìá¹£Än³Ù¾±).
According to the 2nd century MahÄprajñÄpÄramitÄÅ›Ästra chapter XIV, “There are two kinds of patience (°ìá¹£Än³Ù¾±): i) the patience toward beings (sattva°ìá¹£Än³Ù¾±); ii) the patience toward the Dharma (dharma°ìá¹£Än³Ù¾±). The Bodhisattva who practices patience toward beings acquires immense merit (²¹±è°ù²¹³¾Äåṇa-±è³Üṇy²¹); the Bodhisattva who practices patience toward the Dharma acquires immense wisdom (²¹±è°ù²¹³¾Äåṇa-±è°ù²¹ÂáñÄå). Endowed with these two benefits, merit and wisdom, he obtains the realization of all his wishes (²â²¹³Ù³ó±ðṣṲ¹-²õ¾±»å»å³ó¾±): he is like the person who, having eyes and feet, can go wherever he wishesâ€�.
: academia.edu: A Study and Translation of the Gaganagañjaparipá¹›cchİṣÄn³Ù¾± (कà¥à¤·à¤¾à¤¨à¥à¤¤à¤¿) refers to “toleranceâ€�, according to the Gaganagañjaparipá¹›cchÄ: the eighth chapter of the MahÄsaṃnipÄta (a collection of MahÄyÄna Buddhist SÅ«tras).—Accordingly, “How then, son of good family, does the patience of the Bodhisattvas becomes like open space? Son of good family, the patience of the Bodhisattva becomes like the expanse of the sky when he is endowed with the four dharmas. [...] When he is endowed with those four dharmas, son of good family, the patience of the Bodhisattvas becomes like open space. [...]â€�.
There are eight patiences (°ìá¹£Än³Ù¾±) reflecting on the dharma of the Bodhisatvas
- the patience of emptiness (śū²Ô²â²¹³ÙÄå) since there is no destruction of views;
- the patience of signlessness (animitta) since signs are not excluded;
- the patience of wishlessness (²¹±è°ù²¹á¹‡i³ó¾±³Ù²¹) since there is no wish in awakening;
- the patience of the unconditioned (²¹²Ô²¹²ú³ó¾±²õ²¹á¹ƒs°ìÄå°ù²¹) since there is no destruction of conditioned things;
- the patience without birth (²¹ÂáÄå³Ù²¹) since characters are unconditioned;
- the patience without origination (anut±èÄå»å²¹) since there is no arising and abiding;
- the patience without being (²Ô¾±á¸¥s²¹³Ù±¹²¹) since there is no destruction of things;
- patience truly as it is (²â²¹³Ù³óÄå²ú³óÅ«³Ù²¹) since there is no destruction by time.

Mahayana (महायान, mahÄyÄna) is a major branch of Buddhism focusing on the path of a Bodhisattva (spiritual aspirants/ enlightened beings). Extant literature is vast and primarely composed in the Sanskrit language. There are many ²õÅ«³Ù°ù²¹²õ of which some of the earliest are the various PrajñÄpÄramitÄ ²õÅ«³Ù°ù²¹²õ.
Tibetan Buddhism (Vajrayana or tantric Buddhism)
: OSU Press: Cakrasamvara Samadhi°á¹£Än³Ù¾± (कà¥à¤·à¤¾à¤¨à¥à¤¤à¤¿) refers to “patienceâ€�, according to the Guru Mandala Worship (³¾²¹á¹‡á¸²¹±ôÄå°ù³¦²¹²Ô²¹) ritual often performed in combination with the Cakrasaṃvara SamÄdhi, which refers to the primary ±èÅ«ÂáÄå and ²õÄå»å³ó²¹²ÔÄå practice of Newah MahÄyÄna-VajrayÄna Buddhists in Nepal.—Accordingly, “Charity (is) cow dung and water united, moral conduct and cleansing, Patience (°ìá¹£Än³Ù¾±), taking away tiny ants, heroism, bringing forth the religious rite. Meditation, single-minded in each moment, wisdom, splendidly clear lines, These perfections, six indeed are gained, having made the Muni’s maṇá¸alaâ€�.

Esotericism and tantra techniques (±¹²¹Âá°ù²¹²âÄå²Ô²¹) are collected indepently.
General definition (in Buddhism)
Source: Wisdom Library: Dharma-samgraha1) °á¹£Än³Ù¾± (कà¥à¤·à¤¾à¤¨à¥à¤¤à¤¿, “patienceâ€�) or °ìá¹£Än³Ù¾±pÄramitÄ represents the third of the “six perferctionsâ€� (á¹£aá¹pÄå°ù²¹³¾¾±³ÙÄå) as defined in the Dharma-saṃgraha (section 17). The Dharma-samgraha (Dharmasangraha) is an extensive glossary of Buddhist technical terms in Sanskrit (e.g., á¹£aá¹�-±èÄå°ù²¹³¾¾±³ÙÄå and °ìá¹£Än³Ù¾±). The work is attributed to Nagarjuna who lived around the 2nd century A.D.
°á¹£Än³Ù¾± forms, besides a part of the “six perferctionsâ€� (á¹£aá¹pÄå°ù²¹³¾¾±³ÙÄå), also a part of the “ten perfectionsâ€� (»å²¹Å›²¹-±èÄå°ù²¹³¾¾±³ÙÄå).
°á¹£Än³Ù¾± or °á¹£Än³Ù¾±bala refers to the “the strength of patienceâ€� and represents one of the “ten strengths of the Bodhisattvasâ€� (bala) as defined in the Dharma-saṃgraha (section 75).
2) °á¹£Än³Ù¾± also refers to “manifold receptivitiesâ€� as defined in the Dharma-saṃgraha (section 107):
- dharmanidhyÄna-°ìá¹£Än³Ù¾± receptivity from seeing the dharma),
- duḥkhÄdhivÄsanÄ-°ìá¹£Än³Ù¾± (receptivity from forbearance with suffering),
- paropakÄradharma-°ìá¹£Än³Ù¾± (receptivity from the state of helping others).
°á¹£Än³Ù¾± (कà¥à¤·à¤¾à¤¨à¥à¤¤à¤¿, “patient enduranceâ€�).—ŚÄntideva divides patient endurance (°ìá¹£Än³Ù¾±) into three major varieties: first, enduring suffering (duá¹£khÄdhivÄsana°ìá¹£Än³Ù¾±); second, dharmic patience, the patient endurance that comes from reflecting on the Buddha’s teaching, the dharma (dharmanidhyÄna°ìá¹£Än³Ù¾±); and third, patience toward othersâ€� wrongdoing (parÄpakÄramará¹£ana°ìá¹£Än³Ù¾±, Åšiká¹£Äsamuccaya 179).
ÅšÄntideva does not link these phenomena under the rubric of patient endurance (°ìá¹£Än³Ù¾±) merely for the sake of convenience or etymology; rather, patient endurance has common elements that pervade them all. In all three cases, one remains calm and even happy in the face of various undesired events â€� pains, frustrations, wrongs â€� that one might face.
In Jainism
General definition (in Jainism)
Source: Wisdom Library: Jainism°á¹£Än³Ù¾± (कà¥à¤·à¤¾à¤¨à¥à¤¤à¤¿, “equanimityâ€�) refers to “renunciation of anger and other passions and maintaining an attitude of forgivenessâ€� and is one of the causes leading to the influx (Äå²õ°ù²¹²Ô²¹) of karmas extending pleasant feelings (²õÄå³ÙÄå±¹±ð»å²¹²ÔÄ«²â²¹).
°á¹£Än³Ù¾± is a Sanskrit technical term defined in the TattvÄrthasÅ«tra (ancient authorative Jain scripture) from the 2nd century, which contains aphorisms dealing with philosophy and the nature of reality.
: archive.org: Trisastisalakapurusacaritra1) °á¹£Än³Ù¾± (कà¥à¤·à¤¾à¤¨à¥à¤¤à¤¿, “forbearanceâ€�) refers to one of the ten-fold dharma (i.e., Yatidharma) capable of leading across ²õ²¹á¹ƒsÄå°ù²¹, according to chapter 3.3 [²õ³Ü³¾²¹³Ù¾±²ÔÄå³Ù³ó²¹-³¦²¹°ù¾±³Ù°ù²¹] of Hemacandra’s 11th century Triá¹£aá¹£á¹iÅ›alÄkÄpuruá¹£acaritra: an ancient Sanskrit epic poem narrating the history and legends of sixty-three illustrious persons in Jainism.
Accordingly, as SumatinÄtha said:—“The sources of pride—youth, power, beauty, etc.—have become subdued from penance, like evil spirits of a sorceror reduced to servitude from the power to summon them. Yatidharma, handed down orally by the Blessed Ones, is the best boat without impediments for crossing the ocean of ²õ²¹á¹ƒsÄå°ù²¹. [...] Forbearance (°ìá¹£Än³Ù¾±) is endurance by restraint of anger in strength or weakness. [...] So the ten-fold dharma, like a spotless wishing-jewel, capable of leading across ²õ²¹á¹ƒsÄå°ù²¹, is attained in the world by meritâ€�.
2) °á¹£Än³Ù¾± (कà¥à¤·à¤¾à¤¨à¥à¤¤à¤¿, “forbearanceâ€�) is the direct counterpart of Krodha (‘angerâ€�) which refers to one of the four passions (°ì²¹á¹£ÄÂÒ²¹²õ) of creatures, according to chapter 4.5 [dharmanÄtha-caritra].
Accordingly, as Dharma-nÄtha said in his sermon on the °ì²¹á¹£ÄÂÒ²¹²õ:—“[...] Creaturesâ€� passions are four-fold: anger (krodha), conceit (³¾Äå²Ô²¹), deceit (³¾Äå²âÄå), and greed (lobha); and each of them is divided into ²õ²¹Ã±Âá±¹²¹±ô²¹²Ô²¹, etc. [...] The future Arhat Mahı¹Ä«°ù²¹ will go to the Mlecchas for forbearance (°ìá¹£Än³Ù¾±), as he does not wish at all to bear forbearance that has come without effort. [...] If you do not feel anger (krodha) at anger, which is the thief of all the objects of existence, shame on your feeling anger at another guilty of a little crime. Then a wise man should overcome the great serpent of anger which fatigues all the senses, creeping along, by the snake-charm of forbearance (°ìá¹£Än³Ù¾±)â€�.
: The University of Sydney: A study of the Twelve Reflections°á¹£Än³Ù¾± (कà¥à¤·à¤¾à¤¨à¥à¤¤à¤¿) refers to “tranquillityâ€�, according to the 11th century JñÄnÄrṇava, a treatise on Jain Yoga in roughly 2200 Sanskrit verses composed by Åšubhacandra.—Accordingly, “Then if the mind is devoid of any sense object [and] influenced by restraint and tranquillity [com.—endowed with restraint and tranquillity (vrata°ìá¹£Än³Ù¾±yuktaá¹�)] by means of virtue still there is no ascertainment of reality. Also sometimes when these (i.e. good duration of life, etc.), which are exceedingly difficult to obtain, are obtained because of divine [action], some here [in the world] who are absorbed in objects of desire fall down because of carelessnessâ€�.
Synonyms: Praśama.

Jainism is an Indian religion of Dharma whose doctrine revolves around harmlessness (ahimsa) towards every living being. The two major branches (Digambara and Svetambara) of Jainism stimulate self-control (or, shramana, ‘self-reliance�) and spiritual development through a path of peace for the soul to progess to the ultimate goal.
