Consciencelessness (Buddhism, Pali)

In Hinayana Buddhism, this is the formation that has no conscientious scruples and may also be referred to as immodesty; its characteristic is absence of disgust or abomination of evil and its proximate cause is lack of respect for self.

One of the formations aggregate (mental coefficients) of Hinayana Buddhism, being listed among the constant states which appear in their true nature, and as unprofitable primary (always present in any unprofitable or unprofitable-resultant consciousness). Although consciencelessness and shamelessness are considered closely related they are listed as separate formations.
