1. Wealth

Powers in Brief

1 So I have heard. At one time the Buddha was staying near Sāvatthī in Jeta’s Grove, Anāthapiṇḍika’s monastery. … “Mendicants, there are these seven powers. What seven? The powers of faith, energy, conscience, prudence, mindfulness, immersion, and wisdom. These are the seven powers.

2 The powers are faith and energy,

conscience and prudence,

mindfulness and immersion,

and wisdom as the seventh power.

Empowered by these,

an astute mendicant lives happily.

3 They should examine the teaching rationally,

discerning the meaning with wisdom.

The liberation of their heart

is like a lamp going out.”
