Hi Pali teachers ,
I read in the post that says asmi mana is self view and as conceit or i am , is it right self view is sakkaya not the mana ?

Re: Asmi mana
Self view, personality view, person-pack view, embodiment view, etc., are all different ways of translating sakkāyadiṭṭhi.
"I am conceit" is nowadays the usual way that asmi-māna gets translated. "Self view" wouldn't be a good translation because māna and diṭṭhi are two distinct mental factors.
