"Towards those sentient beings who can best be matured by flexibility, they are free of ill will and seek only to bring benefit. They bear the rebukes, scolding, insults, rage, slander, libel, annoyance of these beings with patience, without their faces even changing colour in the slightest.

This is called the perfection of flexibility.
