Fwd: [bramhandnayaka] What is Ignorance ... ???

[Guest guest]

Friends:

 

What is this Ignorance - The very root of all Suffering ?

At Baranasi in the Deer Park at Isipatana, they once asked Sariputta:Ignorance, ignorance, it is said, what now, friend, is this ignorance,and in what way is one immersed in such ignorance???Here, friend, the uninstructed ordinary person does not understandas it really is: The arising, the ceasing, the satisfaction, the danger, nor the escape, nor the way leading to escape, neither in the case of form, nor of in the case of feeling, nor of in the case of perception, nor of in the case of mental construction, nor of in the case of thisconsciousness. This, friends, is called ignorance, and in this way isone indeed still immersed in the blindness of ignorance...
