310. “Bhikkhus, I do not know of a single thing that is more leechlike than unwise or wrong attention, for it causes the arising of wrong view in you, which was thus far absent, while at the same time encouraging the growth of already present wrong view, by making it even stronger.

“Therefore, Bhikkhus, when there is unwise or wrong attention, then it will cause the arising of wrong view within your hearts, while increasing and solidifying the already present wrong views within you, even more.”
