Five strengths (Skt. pañcabala; Tib. 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)
- diligence (Skt. vīrya)
- mindfulness (Skt. smṛti)
- concentration (Skt. samādhi)
