I .......... would like to investigate ‘CONFIDENCE’ from the aspect of a spiritual warrior practising on the path, the Eightfold Path. This confidence is a feeling of security, a rock-solid inner conviction that we will be up to whatever may come in life. It leads to peace and ease, liberation and freedom. Keeping the precepts, especially practising harmlessness and lovingkindness, practising mindfulness and meditation, and being honest and truthful, kind and gentle to ourselves, are very important in the cultivation of Confidence as a spiritual warrior. To develop and cultivate this Confidence that can eventually lead us to our goal of liberation and freedom, we need to have confidence in the teacher, the Buddha, who can show us the way. We also need to be open to the fact that we have the ability to follow the instructions, to learn, to experiment and to train to gain the skills that we need to achieve the goal of liberation and freedom from suffering. This ability is like what the Buddha mentioned in the Lovingkindness Sutta, the quality of Sakko, able. - Ayya Seri Bhikkhuni
