The Discourse on Wrong View
154.
At Sāvatthī.
"When what exists, monks, clinging to what, having clung to what, does wrong view arise?"
"The teachings have the Blessed One as their root, venerable sir, etc.
"When matter exists, monks, clinging to matter, having clung to matter, wrong view arises.
When feeling exists...
wrong view arises.
When perception exists...
when activities exist...
when consciousness exists, clinging to consciousness, having clung to consciousness, wrong view arises.
What do you think, monks, is matter permanent or impermanent?"
"Impermanent, venerable sir."
"But what is impermanent, etc.
would wrong view arise by non-clinging to that?"
"No, Venerable Sir."
"Feeling...
perception...
activities...
consciousness permanent or impermanent?"
"Impermanent, venerable sir."
"But what is impermanent, is that suffering or happiness?"
"Suffering, venerable sir."
"But what is impermanent, suffering, subject to change, would wrong view arise by non-clinging to that?"
"No, Venerable Sir."
"Seeing thus, etc.
He understands: ... there is no more coming back to any state of being.'" The fifth.
