Can someone tell me what the central idea of the 14 ninja in Buddhism is?
In Buddhism, the "14 forbearance" referred to the various tests and states that Buddhist cultivators had to experience in the process of cultivation to cultivate their patience, perseverance, and compassion. The order of the fourteen ninjas was gradually increasing in difficulty. The following was the central idea of the 14 Ninja: 1.

Forbear the pain and give up what you love: Practitioners must experience physical or mental harm to cultivate their own tolerance and compassion. Endure resentment and hatred: Practitioners must endure the slander, insult, and harm of others to cultivate their own peace and tolerance. Endure hardship and toil: Practitioners must experience the test of tiredness and hardship to cultivate their tenacity and perseverance. 5.
