ten stages of faith
十信 (Jpn jisshin )
The first ten of the fifty-two stages of bodhisattva practice described in the Jeweled Necklace Sutra.
They are
(1) arousing pure faith,
(2) ever-mindfulness,
(3) assiduousness,
(4) concentration,
(5) wisdom, or perceiving the non-substantiality of all things,
(6) keeping the precepts,
(7) directing previously acquired good fortune toward attaining enlightenment,
(8) guarding the mind against earthly desires,
(9) discarding attachments, and
(10) making efforts to fulfill one's vows.
There are differing descriptions of the content and order of the ten stages of faith.
