1.89

"O Son of the Buddha! Avidyā means not comprehending all phenomena; being confused about the dharmadhātu, it gives rise to the karmic effects of the three realms. Therefore I say that from the treasury of avidyā arise thirteen afflictions: namely, the seven views—wrong view, view of self, eternalist view, annihilationist view, view of holding precepts [as cause], view of holding effects [as cause], and view of doubt; they are called 'views' because they seek [fixations] in all places. From these views further arise the six minds of attachment: greed, craving, anger, delusion, desire, and conceit, arising at all times within the dharmadhātu.
