The Word of the Buddha Unwise Considerations

The Word of the BuddhaIV. The Path that Leads to the Extinction of Suffering

MN 2 ¶7

1. Taints to be Abandoned through Seeing

What taints, should be abandoned through seeing? Here, an uninstructed ordinary person, who has no regard for the Noble Ones and is unskilled and untrained in the Dhamma of the Noble Ones; who has no regard for persons of integrity, and is unskilled and untrained in the Dhamma of persons of integrity, does not understand what things are fit for attention and what things are unfit for attention. Since that is so, they attend to things unfit for attention and do not attend to things fit for attention.
