Any Clinging to Wrong Views is
Catastrophic!
The
Buddha
often emphasized wrong view as thee most detrimental:
When one has imagined, assumed, constructed, approved of and
authorized
Wrong
Views and opinions, then one is relying on what is
unstable and unsafe!
Clinging to these long cherished wrong views, are not easily
relinquished...
One adheres to these persuasions having chosen them from among many
hypothetical ideas, laying down one assumption, just to take up a another
new fancy theory! A purified man, however, does indeed not form any view
about anything anywhere! He is not
involved..! Having cut out all deceptions
illusions and conceits, where could
such a clear-sighted man ever be driven?
An involved person, however, engages easily in disputes about opposed ideas,
but how can one ever dispute with one, who is not involved? He has neither
taken up, nor laid down anything, but has shaken off
having any view at all..
Sutta-Nipāta 784-787
