The Five Spiritual Powers are:
- Faith
- Energy/Effort
- Mindfulness
- Concentration
- Wisdom
On a path of awakening, we come to recognize the changing and unpredictable nature of human life. Through awareness practice, we awaken to the vulnerability of the body, our emotional life, and the external conditions that humans face in a world that is often driven by greed, hatred, and delusion.
And yet through our dharma practice and by cultivating and bringing into balance these five spiritual powers, we develop the capacity for inner strength, clarity of mind, and a resilient heart.
And with a more resilient heart, we learn to respond with greater equanimity and compassion, enabling us to be a reliable resource for others facing the many challenges of human life.
