Abstract

This research paper is "AN ANALYTICAL STUDY ON DITTHI (VIEW) ACCORDING TO BUDDHIST LITERATURE", which focuses on the scope of ditthi (view), right view and wrong view and its consequences. During the time of the Buddha, there existed various views or ideas regarding the concept of ditthi. Among them, the six majors 'outside teachers' (other view holders) (aññatitthiya) are described in Samaññaphala Sutta. Amidst the darkness of all these wrong views that shrouded the world, the Buddha's appearance in this world was the sunshine that dispels comes out of the darkness and enlightens the world. It was the Buddha who with his supreme wisdom and enlightenment understood and explained the doctrine of view (ditthi) properly and completely.
