Seven noble riches (Skt. saptadhanāni; Tib. འཕགས་པའི་ནོར་བདུན་, pakpé nor dün, Wyl. ‘phags pa’i nor bdun) —
- faith
- discipline
- generosity (Tib. tongwa, Wyl. gtong ba)
- learning (Tib. ཐོས་པ་, Wyl. thos pa)
- dignity
- propriety
- wisdom (Tib. sherab; Wyl. shes rab)
One speaks of faith, which is like a river; discipline which is like a flower; generosity, which is like a jewel; learning, which is like an ocean; samaya, which is like a crystal; a sense of moral shame, which is undeceiving like one's own parents; and wisdom, which is like the sun.[1] The direct translation of this term is the Seven Riches of an Arya.
