[Full title: The accomplishment of Faith (蝉补诲诲丑腻-蝉补尘辫补诲腻) (1) Highest Grace of Confidence on Tiratana (Triple Gems)]

With regard to the 厂补诲诲丑腻 (faith or confidence), the Buddha expounded the four highest grace of 厂补诲诲丑腻 on the Buddha, the Noble Eightfold Path, 厂补峁単丑补 and 狈颈产产腻苍补 in 础驳驳补辫补蝉腻诲补 Sutta of 础峁単耻迟迟补谤补 狈颈办腻测补. If one has complete confidence in these four, he is able to perfect his highest benefit or welfare. The Buddha expounded these four as follows:-鈥溾�楳onks鈥�, of all sentient beings, feetless, two-footed, four-footed, many-footed, material, immaterial, perspective, not perspective, neither perspective or non-perspective, the thus Gone-One (罢补迟丑腻驳补迟补) worthy and rightfully enlightened is foremost, it is said. 鈥楳onks鈥�, those who have placed faith in the Enlightened One have placed faith in the highest grace for the highest benefit.

鈥楳onks鈥�, of all compounded things, the Noble Eightfold Path is foremost, 鈥楳onks鈥�, those who have placed faith in the Noble Eightfold Path have placed faith in the highest grace for the highest benefit.

鈥楳onks鈥� of all things compounded or uncompounded, disenchantment is foremost, it is said such as crushing intoxications, quenching thirsts, destroying all roosting places, cutting off all existences, destroying craving, disenchantment, cessation and extinction. 鈥楳onks鈥�, those who have placed faith in this Teaching have placed faith in the highest grace for the highest benefit.

鈥楳onks鈥�, of all communities or crowds, the community of disciples of the Thus Gone-One (罢补迟丑腻驳补迟补) is foremost, such as the four doubtless of the eight great men. That is the disciples of the Blessed One, the Community of Monks worthy of hospitality, veneration, gifts and veneration with clasped hands, the incomparable field of merit for the world; those who have placed faith in the Community of Monks have placed faith in highest grace for the highest benefit.鈥�^[1]

According to the 础驳驳补辫补蝉腻诲补 Sutta of 础峁単耻迟迟补谤补 狈颈办腻测补, the four highest grace of confidence can be seen as the place of highest benefit or happiness for everybody. The first highest confidence refers to the Buddha, the Enlighten One, and the second to the Noble Eightfold Path which can be called 鈥�Dhamma鈥�, the third to 狈颈产产腻苍补, the cessation and extinction of all sufferings from the cycle or circle of life, and the last to the 厂补峁単丑补, the Order of Monks. These monks are referred to the Noble Monks, Ariya 厂补峁単丑补. Thus, we can draw the conclusion that those who have completed the highest confidence (厂补诲诲丑腻) are able to accomplish the highest benefit or welfare of them in both of life.

In the same way, if those who have accomplished the highest grace of confidence on the four things鈥�-the Buddha and Dhamma, observing the precepts and enlightenment of the Four Noble Truths, they are able to attain the life of a recluse (the Stream-Enterer or Winner), a second recluse (OnceReturner), a third recluse (Non-Returner) and an Arahat.

Regarding it, the Buddha promulgated the four things in the C奴岣穉s墨han膩da Sutta of Majjhima 狈颈办腻测补 as follow:鈥�

鈥溾�楩riends, four things have been declared to us by the Blessed One (Buddha) who knows and sees, accomplished and fully enlightened; on seeing these in ourselves we say thus: 鈥淥nly here is there a recluse, only here a second recluse, only here a third recluse and only here a fourth recluse. What are the four? We have confidence in the Teacher (Buddha), we have confidence in the Dhamma, we have fulfilled the precepts, and our companions in the Dhamma are dear and agreeable to us whether they are hayfolk or those gone forth. These are the four things declared to us by the Blessed One who knows and sees, accomplished and fully enlightened, on seeing which in ourselves we say as we do.鈥�^[2]

Thus we can say that it makes sure that the highest confidence on the four things mentioned above is the way of developing for the social welfare.
