Apramada (Sanskrit; Pali: Appamada; Tibetan Wylie: bag yod pa) is a Buddhist term translated as "conscientious" or "concern". It is defined as taking great care concerning what should be adopted and what should be avoided. It is one of the virtuous Mental factors within the Abhidharma teachings.
The Abhidharma-samuccaya states:
- What is concern? From taking its stand on non-attachment, non-hatred, and non-deludedness coupled with diligence, it considers whatever is positive and protects the mind against things which cannot satisfy. Its function is to make complete and to realize all worldly and transworldly excellences.
