Śraddhā (Skt.). ‘Faith’, personified as a goddess in Hinduism. She kindles in worshippers the faith to approach
Agni (and other gods) without which offerings are in vain.
In Buddhism (Pāli,
saddhā), śraddhā is devoted commitment to the
Buddha and his
dharma: it underlies as a prerequisite the first two stages of the Eightfold Path (
aṣṭangika-mārga). In Mahāyāna, it is a fundamental trust, especially in the help of
bodhisattvas. From its devotion to Amitābha (
Amida),
Pure Land is sometimes known as ‘The Way of Faith’.
