Seven noble riches 七聖財

Seven noble riches (Wyl. ‘phags pa’i nor bdun) 信、戒、捨、聞、慚、愧、慧

1. faith (Tib. dépa; Wyl. dad pa)
2. discipline (Tib. tsultrim; Wyl. tshul khrims)
3. generosity (Tib. tongwa; Wyl. gtong ba)
4. learning (Tib. töpa; Wyl. thos pa)
5. dignity (Tib. ngo tsa shepa; Wyl. ngo tsha shes pa)
6. propriety (Tib. trel yöpa; Wyl. khrel yod pa)
7. wisdom (Tib. sherab; Wyl. shes rab)

One speaks of faith, which is like a river; discipline which is like a flower; generosity, which is like a jewel; learning, which is like an ocean; samaya, which is like a crystal; a sense of moral shame, which is undeceiving like one's own parents; and wisdom, which is like the sun.　
信（信心）如江河、戒（戒律）如花朵、捨（佈施）如珠寶、聞（聞學）如大海、慚（三昧耶／對自己的道德良知）如水晶、愧（對他人的道德羞恥）如不欺瞞己父母、慧如太陽。～出自《夏嘎巴生平》中〈雌虎堡禪修〉之註解。

編註：《寶積經》記載：「云何聖財？謂信（信受正法）、戒（守持戒律）、聞（能聞正教）、慚（自分有慚）、愧（於人有愧）、捨（捨離一切而無染著）、慧（智慧照事理），如是等德法，是謂七聖財。彼諸眾生不護此故，名極貧窮。」
