Abstract:
The meaning of the term indriya is power, energy or faculty. There are twenty-two physical and mental faculties (indriya) found in the early Buddhism as well as in the Abhidhamma. They can be divided into five groups, such as primarily, physical, psychic, moral, and supermundane. The five Spiritual Faculties are, saddhā (faith), viriya (energy), sati (mindfulness), samādhi (concentration) and paññā (wisdom), which are mentioned under the moral group.
