diṭṭhi

Post by asahi »

Hi Pali teachers ,

Can diṭṭhi (alone) be translated as wrong view ? I read somewhere it was translated as wrong view .

:thanks:

view, belief, dogma, theory, speculation, esp. false theory, groundless or unfounded opinion .

HI
I have no knowledge of Pali.
But in Buddhism when we say Dithi we assume it as Mitcca Ditthi (wrong view)
However, Ditthi could be right or wrong view.

Yes. Diṭṭhi alone often refers to wrong view.
