Five strengths
Five strengths (Tib. top nga; 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
- diligence
- mindfulness
- concentration
- wisdom
The Sutra of Ten Bhumis says:
"The five strengths are the same as the above [i.e., the five powers, once they have become capable of overcoming their opposing factors."
