five powers
[五力] (Jpn go-riki )
Five attributes obtained by the practice of the five roots—faith, exertion, memory, meditation, and wisdom.
The five powers are the power of faith, the power of exertion, the power of memory, the power of meditation, and the power of wisdom. Along with the five roots, which are similarly named, they constitute ten of the thirty-seven aids to the way, or the thirty-seven practices leading to enlightenment.
See also five roots; thirty-seven aids to the way.
