Without attachment:

Generosity (charity),
Discipline (at one with each action),
Patience (forbearance)( sword into mind),
Diligence (don’t give up, keep going, willing to be vulnerable, without exalting suffering),
Samadhi (meditative concentration experiencing our true nature, our deepest source),
Wisdom - spontaneous compassion
