Thanks Lal.

I notice that i still stumble on that sentence “in this existence, we are humans”.

I know it is not described that way in the sutta’s, but i belief the view “i am a human’ is a sakkaya ditthi. It is a view related to the five khandha’s, for example…i am a human… because i have a human-specific body or .. i am a human… because i have human-specific mental formations or perceptions. All those views relating to khandha’s seem to be sakkaya ditthi. That’s why i belief ‘i am a human’ can be seen as a sakkaya ditthi.
