'thought', 'thought-conception', is one of the 'secondary' (not constant) mental concomitants (s. Tab. II), and may be either karmically wholesome, unwholesome or neutral. - "There are 3 karmically unwholesome (akusala) thoughts: sensuous thought (ka^ma-vitakka), hating thought (bya^pa^da-v.), and cruel thought (vihimsa-v.). There are 3 karmically wholesome (kusala) thoughts: thought of renunciation (nekkhamma-v.), of hatelessness (avya^pa^da-v.), of not harming (avihimsa^-v.) " The latter three constitute 'right thought', the 2nd link of the 8-fold Path (s. magga 2).
