4 discourses
Remembering in the wrong way. It holds to the signs of craving and aversion, or attends carefully to what sustains delusion. Such mindfulness appears clear but lacks right view, turning awareness into a servant of defilement. It remembers what should be forgotten and forgets what should be remembered.
Pāli: micchāsati

The Buddha distinguishes the wrong way of practice and the right way of practice.
The Buddha distinguishes the wrong way of practice and the right way of practice and their outcomes.
Approaching wrongness leads to failure, not success. Approaching rightness leads to success, not failure.
