The Sutra That Admonishes One to Superior Intention says:
Maitreya, there are twenty defects of distraction. What are these twenty? Maitreya, they are:
- not to have controlled your body,
- not to have controlled your speech,
- not to have controlled your mind,
- to have great desire,
- to have great hatred,
- to have great dullness,
- to be tainted by mundane conversations,
- to have completely strayed away from supramundane conversation,
- to associate with people who do not respect the dharma,
- to have fully cast away the dharma,
- to consequently be harmed by the maras,
- to associate with people who are careless,
- to be careless oneself,
- to be dominated by conception and discernment,
- to completely stray away from great learning,
- to fail to achieve shamatha and vipashyana,
- to fail to quickly maintain pure conduct,
- to completely stray away from rejoicing in the Buddha,,
- to completely stray away from rejoicing in the Dharma, and
- to completely stray away from rejoicing in the Sangha.
Maitreya, understand that these twenty defects are the defects of taking delight in distraction. A bodhisattva after having applied examination will take delight in solitude and never become completely disheartened.[1]
