[101] Bhikkhus, there are these five qualities that create self-confidence (vesārajja) in a bhikkhu who is a learner (sekha). What five? Here, bhikkhus, a bhikkhu has faith (saddhā), is virtuous (sīlavā), is greatly learned (bahussuta), is of aroused energy (āraddhavīriya), and is wise (paññavā).
Whatever timidity (sārajja) there is for one without faith, that timidity does not exist for one who has faith; therefore this quality is one that creates self-confidence in a learner. Whatever timidity there is for one of poor virtue, that timidity does not exist for one who is virtuous; therefore this quality is one that creates self-confidence in a learner. Whatever timidity there is for one of little learning, that timidity does not exist for one who is greatly learned; therefore this quality is one that creates self-confidence in a learner. Whatever timidity there is for one who is lazy, that timidity does not exist for one of aroused energy; therefore this quality is one that creates self-confidence in a learner. Whatever timidity there is for one of poor wisdom, that timidity does not exist for one who is wise; therefore this quality is one that creates self-confidence in a learner.
These, bhikkhus, are the five qualities that create self-confidence in a bhikkhu who is a learner.
