Description
Welcome back to the Sutta Meditation Series Podcast.
Today we look at a Saying by the Buddha contained in the Itivuttaka - Vitakka Sutta (Iti 80) on the THREE KINDS OF UNWHOLESOME THOUGHTS:
- A thought concerned with not being despised (anavaññattipaṭisaṃyutto vitakko);
- A thought concerned with gain, honour, and fame (lābhasakkārasilokapaṭisaṃyutto vitakko); and
- A thought concerned with involvement in the affairs of others (parānuddayatāpaṭisaṃyutto vitakko).
