Thus have I heard -
On one occasion the Blessed One was dwelling at Sāvatthī in Jeta's Grove, Anāthapiṇḍika's park... etc.
"There are, monks, these seven powers.
What are the seven?
The power of faith, the power of energy, the power of shame, the power of moral fear, the power of mindfulness, the power of concentration, the power of wisdom.
These, monks, are the seven powers."
"The power of faith and energy, shame and moral fear as power;
The power of mindfulness and concentration, wisdom indeed is the seventh power;
A monk strong with these, the wise one lives happily;
"He should wisely investigate the teaching, he sees the meaning through wisdom;
Like the extinguishing of a lamp, there is deliverance of the mind." The third.
