(Controlling) Powers (b)
[144]
Thus have I heard:
On a certain occasion the Exalted One was staying near Sāvatthī.
Then the Exalted One addressed the monks, saying:
"Monks."
"Yes, lord," they replied, and the Exalted One said:
"Monks, there are these four powers.1
What four?
The power of faith,
of energy,
of mindfulness,
of concentration.
These are the four controlling powers"
