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).
