In Chapter 19, patience (Saburi) is presented not as passive waiting but as a powerful and active virtue with tangible benefits. It is described as the "manliness of men" that actively "wards off sin, distress, and poverty." The teachings state that patience averts calamities through various means and pushes away fear and dread, bringing a share of success and putting calamity to flight. This quality is portrayed as a form of courage that provides the strength to endure any heavy burden and successfully reach "the other shore." Therefore, cultivating patience is a practical strategy for overcoming life's many challenges and ensuring one's well-being and success.
