The Avataṃsaka Sūtra on the Ten Kinds of Conceit (māna)

Children of the Buddha, bodhisattva-mahāsattvas have ten kinds of karmic acts of pride. What are the ten? Namely: toward teachers, monks, parents, śramaṇas, and brāhmaṇas who abide in the right path and turn toward the right path—those worthy fields of merit deserving of respect—failing to show reverence: this is a karmic act of pride. Or there is a Dharma teacher who has attained the supreme Dharma, rides the Great Vehicle, knows the essential path of liberation, has obtained dhāraṇīs, and expounds the vast Dharma of the sūtras without rest; yet one harbors arrogant pride toward him and does not feel reverence for the Dharma he teaches: this is a karmic act of pride. In an assembly, hearing wondrous Dharma expounded yet refusing to praise it so that others may believe and accept it: this is a karmic act of pride. Fond of giving rise to overestimating pride (atimāna), exalting oneself and looking down on others, not seeing one's own faults, unaware of one's own shortcomings: this is a karmic act of pride. Fond of giving rise to over-overestimating pride (mānātimāna): seeing a virtuous person, failing to praise when praise is due; seeing others offer praise, not rejoicing: this is a karmic act of pride. Seeing a Dharma teacher expound the Dharma for others, and knowing that it is Dharma, that it is Vinaya, that it is true, that it is the Buddha's word, yet out of dislike for the person also disliking the Dharma, oneself slandering it and causing others to slander it: this is a karmic act of pride. If bodhisattvas are free from these karmic acts of pride, they will attain ten kinds of karmic acts of wisdom. What are the ten? Namely: believing and understanding karmic retribution, not violating cause and effect: this is a karmic act of wisdom. Not abandoning bodhicitta and constantly being mindful of the Buddhas: this is a karmic act of wisdom. Drawing near good spiritual friends, revering and making offerings to them, with a heart of respect that never wearies or slackens: this is a karmic act of wisdom. Delighting in the Dharma and delighting in its meaning without ever being satiated, staying far from wrong thoughts and diligently cultivating right mindfulness: this is a karmic act of wisdom. Being free from self-pride (asmimāna) toward all sentient beings, regarding bodhisattvas as Tathāgatas, cherishing and esteeming the true Dharma as one cherishes one's own body, venerating the Tathāgata as one protects one's own life, and regarding practitioners as Buddhas: this is a karmic act of wisdom. Bodily, verbal, and mental actions free of all unwholesomeness, praising the noble sages and according with bodhi: this is a karmic act of wisdom. Not violating dependent arising, being free from all wrong views, breaking through darkness and attaining light, illuminating all dharmas: this is a karmic act of wisdom.
