Blindness, Ignorance

Avijjā

"Pray what is ignorance?"

"Not understanding about pain, friend,
not understanding about the arising of pain,
not understanding about the ceasing of pain,
not understanding about the way leading to the ceasing of pain, -
this, friend, is called 'ignorance.'"

—SN 4.39.9;
