The five strengths (Skt. pañcabala; Tib. སྟོབས་ལྔ་, top nga, Wyl. stobs lnga) are the fifth group of practices in the thirty-seven factors of enlightenment, practised on the final two stages of the path of joining. They are:
- faith (Skt. śraddhā; Tib. དད་པ་, Wyl. dad pa)
- diligence (Skt. vīrya; Tib. བརྩོན་འགྲུས་, Wyl. brtson 'grus)
- mindfulness (Skt. smṛti; Tib. དྲན་པ་, Wyl. dran pa)

- wisdom (Skt. prajñā, Tib. ཤེས་རབ་, Wyl. shes rab)
