Confidence based on conviction.

Conviction based on knowledge is of paramount importance. Saddha denotes abiding conviction in the Three Gems, and the belief that beings are heirs to their own volitional actions, both in this existence and in the hereafter. A clear and incisive way of perception is the chief attribute of what is meant by the word ‘Conviction’.

Four kinds of conviction are differentiated:

(1) firm conviction arisen in a Buddha-to-be from the time of aspiring to become a Buddha, ᾱgamasaddhᾱ;

(2) firm conviction of the Ariyas, adhigamasaddhᾱ;

(3) unshakeable conviction in the Three Gems, okappanasaddhᾱ; and

(4) clearness of conviction in the Three Gems, pasᾱdasaddhᾱ.
