The Long Āgama Sūtra 2.30

2.30

佛告比丘：「復有七法，令法增長，無有損耗。何謂為七？一者有信，信於如來、至真、正覺，十號具足。二者知慚，恥於己闕。三者知愧，羞為惡行。四者多聞，其所受持，上中下善，義味深奧，清淨無穢，梵行具足。五者精勤苦行，滅惡修善，勤習不捨。六者昔所學習，憶念不忘。七者修習智慧，知生滅法，趣賢聖要，盡諸苦本。如是七法，則法增長，無有損耗。」

The Buddha told the monks, “There’s another seven principles that will make the teaching grow and not diminish. What are the seven? First, have faith in the Tathāgata, Arhat, and Perfectly Awakened One who’s been given the ten epithets. Second, be conscientious and ashamed of one’s failings. Third, be modest and embarrassed by bad behavior. Fourth, be well-versed in and remember what’s good in the beginning, middle, and end, that’s profound in content and expression, that’s pure and undefiled, and that perfects the religious life. Fifth, diligently practice asceticism, cease doing what’s bad, cultivate what’s good, and don’t abandon that effort. Sixth, remember and don’t forget what’s been learned in the past. Seventh, cultivate wisdom, recognize the law of birth and cessation, head for the noble goal, and end the source of suffering. Thus, the teaching will grow and not diminish with these seven principles.”
