[181] "Bhikkhus, I do not see even one other thing on account of which unarisen unwholesome states (akusalā dhammā) arise, and arisen unwholesome states lead to increase and abundance, so much as this, bhikkhus: wrong view (micchādiṭṭhi). Bhikkhus, for one of wrong view, unarisen unwholesome states arise, and arisen unwholesome states lead to increase and abundance."
