#9 <Ignorance> -original

Now a certain monk came to see the Exalted One....and sat down at the side. As
he thus sat that monk said this to the Exalted One:

'"Ignorance! Iggnorance," is the saying, lord. Pray, lord, what is ignorance,
and how far is one the victim of ignorance?'

'Monk, being ignorant about ill, its arising, its ceasing and about the practice
that leads to its ceasing is called "ignorance, and one who is thus ignorant is
a victim of ignorance.

Wherefore, monk, you must make an effort to realize: This is ill..


Rewrite The Exalted One to Buddha.
