“Do not indulge anger – cultivate equanimity. In the realm of the selfless dharma, not contriving reality for the self is the precept of not indulging anger. Not advancing, not retreating, not real, not empty. There is a brilliant sea of clouds. There is a dignified sea of clouds. ”

– From the Sixteen Bodhisattva Precepts.

(note to self: Every time I read this my mind is boggled.  contriving reality for the self? what does that even mean?)
