Ignorance (From a Buddhist Perspective)

In this podcast, Bhante Sathi explores ignorance (moha) as one of the three root causes of suffering, explaining how our limited senses and unexamined beliefs create the illusion of a fixed, permanent self. He describes how ignorance fuels attachment, conflict, and materialism, while mindfulness helps us recognize our changing nature and “catch” ourselves in moments of blind reactivity. By cultivating wisdom through meditation, generosity, and compassion, we gradually remove layers of misunderstanding and learn to see reality more clearly.
