four indestructible faiths (四不壞信). Listed in a separate translation of the Saṁyukta Āgama, one of the Five Āgamas, are the four indestructible faiths:
(1) faith in the Buddha,
(2) faith in the Dharma,
(3) faith in the Saṅgha, and (
4) faith in the precepts (T02n0100, 0434b7–9).
According to the Sūtra of the Garland of a Bodhisattva’s Primary Karmas,, with the four indestructible faiths one should take the Four Refuges: the Buddha, the Dharma, the Saṅgha, and the precepts (T24n1485, 1020c22–24).
