Abstract:
Attachment to the views (diuupiidiina) is one of the four attachments. The complex
and complicated nature of this issue is attachment in kind of a concept, idea, dogma, and
religion. Commonly people attach to various external objectives and the thinkers, religious
teachers and philosophers attach to the: deep philosophical concepts. Its other aspect is
rejection of opposition view and grasping one's own view itself.
In the first chapter we discussed concept of kamma, concept of omniscient,
liberation and evolution of the universe which influence to the evolution of various views.
These concepts are broadly discussed, because of that all the dogmatic views are based on
them. Brahmajiila sutta classified all the contemporary speculative views according to their
nature. But these views are not mentioned by their names. However. a comprehensive
knowledge with regarding these views is able to achieve from the sutta, commentary and
sub-commentary. In the second chapter the psychological factors for the origination of the
dogmatism, behavior of the speculator, are broadlr discussed. The bases of the views or
dittitthana are investigated.
In
addition to that, the Buddhist methodology of avoiding
attachment to the views is critically discussed.
The dogmatism or attachment to the views is not only functioning conceptually. Its
pragmatic side is represented with the concept of silabbatapariimasa or misapprehension of
rites and rituals. So, in the third chapter practice of them and their attachment as well as
difference between Buddhism and the contemporary religious teachers are discussed. In the fourth chapter, it is emphasized that the attachment to the views is obstruction to the
liberation. So, abandoning of the every kind of views is able to be understood as liberation.
In
the last chapter of this thesis is discussed the right view or
sammii
ditthi and its
significance. It is investigated how the right view is distinctive among all other
contemporary speculative views. In addition to that, the specific view of the Buddha is
investigated. Various aspects on the right view are discussed and its association with the
concepts of yathabhiitahiina, paticcasamuppiida and tilakkhana also explained. Due to this
nature all the dogmatic positions are eradicated as a natural consequence.
