摘要
Seven spiritual treasures in Buddhism are faith or confidence in the teachings, moral conduct,moral shame,moral dread,education,generosity and wisdom. Confidence ('saddha') in Buddhism is based on knowledge and provides a firm foundation for spiritual growth. Moral conduct ('sila') is concerned with skillfulness or wholesomeness of physical actions, words and thoughts. Moral shame and moral dread ('hiri-ottappa') protect society by instilling respect for oneself and for others. Generosity ('caga' or 'dana') is regarded as a treasure that benefits one who is able to give purely.
