June 17

There could be no bigger mistake than to think that ignorance is somehow dumb and stupid, or passive and lacking in intelligence. On the contrary, it is shrewd and cunning, versatile and ingenious in the games of deception, and in our wrong views and their burning convictions we find one of its deepest and, as Buddha said, most dangerous manifestations:

What do you have to fear from the wild elephantWho can only damage your body here and now,When falling under the influence of misguided people and wrong viewsNot only destroys the merit you have accumulated in the past,But also blocks your path to freedom in the future?
