What five? The powers of faith, conscience, prudence, energy, and wisdom. And what is the power of faith? It\u2019s when a noble disciple has faith in the Realized One\u2019s awakening: \u2018That Blessed One is perfected, a fully awakened Buddha, accomplished in knowledge and conduct, holy, knower of the world, supreme guide for those fit for training, teacher of gods and humans, awakened, blessed.\u2019 This is called the power of faith. And what is the power of conscience? It\u2019s when a noble disciple has a conscience. They\u2019re conscientious about bad conduct by way of body, speech, and mind, and conscientious about having any bad, unskillful qualities. This is called the power of conscience. And what is the power of prudence? It\u2019s when a noble disciple is prudent. They\u2019re prudent when it comes to bad conduct by way of body, speech, and mind, and prudent when it comes to acquiring any bad, unskillful qualities. This is called the power of prudence. And what is the power of energy? It\u2019s when a noble disciple lives with energy roused up for giving up unskillful qualities and embracing skillful qualities. They\u2019re strong, staunchly vigorous, not slacking off when it comes to developing skillful qualities. This is called the power of energy. And what is the power of wisdom? It\u2019s when a noble disciple is wise. They have the wisdom of arising and passing away which is noble, penetrative, and leads to the complete ending of suffering. This is called the power of wisdom. These are the five powers of a trainee. So you should train like this: \u2018We will have the trainee\u2019s powers of faith, conscience, prudence, energy, and wisdom.\u2019 That\u2019s how you should train.\u201d","title":"In Detail","tradition":"Anguttara Nikaya","translated_text":null,"word_count":289}
