The six stains (Tib. དྲི་མ་དྲུག་, drima druk, Wyl. dri ma drug) are forms of conduct to be avoided when listening to the teachings. They are mentioned in Vasubandhu’s Well Explained Reasoning:

Arrogance, lack of faith,
Lack of any interest,
Outward distraction, inward tension,
And discouragement are the six stains.[1]

Tibetan

༈ རྣམ་བཤད་རིག་པ་ལས།

ང་རྒྱལ་དང་ནི་མ་དད་དང་། །
དོན་དུ་གཉེར་བ་མེད་ཉིད་དང་། །
ཕྱི་རོལ་རྣམ་གཡེངས་ནང་དུ་སྡུད། །
སྐྱོ་བས་ཉན་པ་དྲི་མ་ཡིན། །
