Anyone who is not an Ariya (at least a Sotapanna Anugami) is a puthujjana. So, most of the ‘Buddhists’ today are probably puthujjana, because they are not at least Sotapanna Anugami. But they are likely to be more ‘moral’ compared to others.
- Even for a puthujjana, not all sensory inputs lead the mind to the nava kamma stage. Most of the things we encounter (for example, looking out of the window while riding a bus) do not lead the mind to attach to them. Those sensory events stop at the pūrana kamma stage even for a puthujjana.
