What are the 10 sammādiṭṭhis, ten right views?

Upvote:-1

There are two levels of Samma Ditthi (right view). One is the puthujjana (ordinary life) samma ditthi and the other is the lokuttara samma ditthi (with direct aim to realize Nibbana i.e. understanding the Four Noble Truths). First we have to begin with practising the puthujjana samma ditthi to shed the more coarse defilements of the mind, and then we can more easily make progress with the lokuttara samma ditthi (understanding of the Four Noble Truths). May you realize Nibbana! Sadhu!

Extracted from Ten Bases of Meritorious Actions (Ten Punnakiriya-vatthus):

  1. There is a good result in an act of alms-giving, charity giving.
  2. There is benefit in veneration.
  3. There is benefit in offering gifts.
  4. There is the Law of Karma and Its Results which teaches that moral and immoral deeds have respective consequences, in this life and the next.
  5. There is benefit in tending and supporting one’s own mother, while neglecting her means an evil deed.
  6. There is benefit in tending and supporting one’s own father, while neglecting him means an evil deed.
  7. There are unseen worlds of hell, hungry ghosts, demons, devas, Sakkas and brahmas. Existence of such beings should be accepted as a fact.
  8. There is this present world.
  9. There is the next world or lives to come.
  10. There are holy persons who have subdued their thought, word and deed. There are persons with jhanic insight or concentration who see this world and the next clearly. They teach such sights, views and visions in a correct way. We should have confidence in such samanas and brahmanas.
