Question

I have a question about the 2nd Noble Truth. Ignorance is the cause. Ignorance of what?

Answer

Ignorance of the Three Characteristics of Existence, ignorance of the Four Noble Truths and ignorance of the Truth. With the dependent arising nature of Dukkha, ignorance is the root cause that causes us to attach to things that are not self, believing them to be self, and of course creating the wish to become. This is a too detailed to go into now.
