Please see #9: “…Translated: ‘And what, bhikkhus, is the way leading to the cessation of identity? …”

Lal, you translate here “sakkā­ya­nirodha­gāminī paṭipadā” as “the way leading to the cessation of identity”. Does it mean that sakkaya means identity? Thus sakkaya ditthi is still identity view or me-view or self view?

As you say in #4: sakkāya is pañcu­pādā­nak­khan­dhā. Thus ditthi here is the wrong view that the five khandha are good and beneficial which is part of ditthi vipallasa.
