Tibetan ngan pa in this context means “ignorant” or being without knowledge or understanding of the Dharma and—more specifically in this context of the teachings on karmic cause and effect and Buddhist ethics—knowing which actions to choose and which to avoid, including respect for and belief in those who possess such knowledge and understanding.
