The Discourse on the Mental Hindrance of Ignorance
14.
This was said by the Blessed One, said by the Worthy One, thus have I heard:
"I do not, monks, perceive any other single mental hindrance by which mental hindrance hindered, this generation transmigrates and wanders through the round of rebirths for a long time, as does, monks, the mental hindrance of ignorance. For, monks, hindered by the mental hindrance of ignorance, this generation transmigrates and wanders through the round of rebirths for a long time." The Blessed One said this meaning. Therein this is said:
Wanders through the round of rebirths day and night, as hindered by delusion.
They do not wander through the round of rebirths again, the cause for them is not found."
This meaning too was spoken by the Blessed One, thus have I heard. The fourth.
