Namo Buddhaya ☸️
Dear followers of Dhamma and noble ones in the Sangha.
I realized that I was wasting other people’s time by sharing my wrong views and thus I stopped communicating here for about 2 months. I am extremely grateful that I can say that during that time, wrong views have been replaced with right views. And I wish to now apologize for having expressed my wrong views here. Please forgive me.
Truly the greatest thing is to have a right thought and a right action and a right view and a right understanding of the Dhamma.
In Chinese it is said, 天上天下无如佛, meaning, above in heaven and below on the earth there is nothing comparable to the Buddha.
Thank you 🙏

I’m glad to hear that you have gotten rid of some wrong views. That is called “making progress.” We all started with many wrong views.

- Indeed! That is “real saddhā” or “faith that comes with understanding”!

I would say it’s natural for ignorance to “think” we are right or feel right in situations when we are wrong. Nothing to feel sorry about, it’s a condition of all people and we’ve all been there. Even in a mundane way, we know when somebody is wrong yet they feel sure about it and then life bites back. It happens the same with a world view.

Here is another way to look at it.
- Only a Buddha can discover the “correct worldview.”
- All others have wrong views until they learn the “correct worldview” from a Buddha or a true disciple of the Buddha (Ariya).
- Those Ariyas below the Arahant stage may have minor wrong views (but not the three samyojana of sakkaya ditthi, vicikiccha, silabbata paramasa).
