42 There is a slight distinction between the phrase 'holding on or resorting to views' (ditthigatattt) , which denotes views in their negative sense, and right views (sammaditthi), which the tradition identifies as the Buddha's teachings. The basic Buddhist rejection of grasping (upadana) also means that one should not hold views. In the Sammaditthi-sutta,43 grasping is defined as fourfold (cattaro upadana): grasping sense-pleasures (kamupadanattt) , rituals (stlabbatupadanattt), views (ditthupadanattt), and theories of the self (attavadupadanattt).
25 Mahacunda asks the Buddha at one point how a bhikkhu comes to reject such views about the self (ditthiya attavadapatisan;zyutta) or the world (ditthiya lakavadapatisan;zyutta). 26 In the commentary on this passage, Buddhaghosa explains that 'views about the self' mean that one 'regards form as self' (rupan;z attata samanupassati), implying that views about the self mean that one mistakes form for an existing self. 29 The commentary explains that there are two views: the view of theories (laddhiditthi) and the view that the self and the world are eternal (sassataditthi).
