The Avatamsaka Sutra Speaks of Ten Kinds of Arrogance

Buddha-sons. Bodhisattva-mahāsattvas have ten kinds of arrogant karma. What are the ten? Namely: toward teachers, monastics, parents, śramaṇas and brāhmaṇas who abide in the correct path and turn toward the correct path, and toward revered fields of merit, failing to show respect — this is arrogant karma. Or there may be a Dharma master who has attained the supreme Dharma, rides the Great Vehicle, knows the path of escape, has obtained dhāraṇīs, and expounds the vast Dharma of the sūtras without rest; yet toward such a one one gives rise to a mind of arrogance and pride, and toward the Dharma being expounded one fails to generate reverence — this is arrogant karma. In an assembly, hearing the wonderful Dharma expounded, being unwilling to praise it so that others may accept it with faith — this is arrogant karma. Being fond of giving rise to overestimating arrogance, exalting oneself and looking down on others, not seeing one's own faults, not knowing one's own shortcomings — this is arrogant karma. Being fond of giving rise to arrogance upon arrogance: seeing a person of virtue, failing to praise one who should be praised, and seeing others praised, not giving rise to joy — this is arrogant karma. Seeing a Dharma master expounding the Dharma for others, knowing that this is the Dharma, this is the Vinaya, this is the truth, this is the Buddha's word, yet despising that person and thereby also despising the Dharma, oneself giving rise to slander and also causing others to slander — this is arrogant karma. If bodhisattvas depart from these kinds of arrogant karma, they will attain ten kinds of karma of wisdom. What are the ten? Namely: having faith and understanding in karma and retribution, not destroying cause and effect — this is the karma of wisdom. Not abandoning the mind of enlightenment (bodhicitta) and constantly being mindful of the Buddhas — this is the karma of wisdom. Drawing near to good spiritual friends, respecting and making offerings to them, holding them in reverence with a mind that never wearies or slackens — this is the karma of wisdom. Delighting in the Dharma and delighting in its meaning without ever being satiated, far removed from wrong mindfulness, diligently cultivating right mindfulness — this is the karma of wisdom. Toward all sentient beings, being free from arrogance and self-conceit; toward all bodhisattvas, holding the thought of them as Tathāgatas; cherishing and valuing the true Dharma as one cherishes one's own body; revering the Tathāgata as one protects one's own life; toward those engaged in cultivation, holding the thought of them as Buddhas — this is the karma of wisdom. Having bodily, verbal, and mental actions free of all unwholesomeness, praising the wise and sagely, and according with bodhi — this is the karma of wisdom. Not destroying dependent origination, being free from all wrong views, breaking through darkness and attaining light, illuminating all dharmas — this is the karma of wisdom.
