What is the difference between Dhithi (view) and Panna (wisdom)?
Upvote:-2
Dhithi means thought, idea. In pali it means dogma; theory; belief.
Panna means wise, endowed with knowledge, insight.
Dhithi is fabricated by the fabricated self.
Panna is not fabricated.
To differentiate dhithi from panna you have to know how dhithi arises, what is its cause and what is its cessation.
Once you know this, dhithi can cease and panna is attained.
Then you can easily differentiate between the two.
FURTHER READING:
Why panna is not fabricated?
When you meditate and perception ceases, and even the state of neither-perception-nor-non-perception ceases, and even that same cessation ceases, and all perception ceases, so that even meditation itself ceases ... that is reality.
When observation of reality arises, that "observation of reality" is a fabrication, a not truth. Nonetheless, even though that "observation of reality" is a fabrication, a not truth, it really is not a fabrication, it is truth, it is panna.
When that "observation of reality" is put into words, these "words" are fabrications, not truths. Nonetheless, even though these "words" are fabrications, not truths, they really are not fabrications, they are truths, they are panna.
When "observation of reality" arises and this "observation of reality" is described with "words", even though this "observation of reality" and the "words describing reality" are fabrications, not truths, they really are not fabrications, they are truth, they are panna.
"Observation of reality" and "words describing reality" can be called "panna". Nonetheless, even though this "panna" is a fabrication, not truth, it really is not a fabrication, it is truth, it is panna.
When a person has panna, what is fabricated is not truth, but since it is being fabricated with panna, that which is fabricated is not a fabrication, it is truth.

Right, Sammā = possible to happen in reality cause and effect rules.
Wrong, Sammā = impossible to happen in reality cause and effect rules.
Diṭṭhi = attitude element of mind that collecting several right/wrong aspects of knowledge.
Paññā = learning element of mind that learning several right/wrong aspects of knowledge.
When you learning knowledge, is while you collecting knowledge.
So, Diṭṭhi = Paññā.
Therefore, SammāDiṭṭhi = the attitude element of mind that collecting several aspects of learning knowledge, that is right, possible to happen in cause and effect rules, such as paṭiccasamuppāda, paṭṭhāna, or 10 sammādiṭṭhi, etc. = SammapPaññā = The learning element of mind that learning several aspects of learning knowledge, that is right, possible to happen in cause and effect rules, such as paṭiccasamuppāda, paṭṭhāna, or 10 sammādiṭṭhi, etc.
See: abhidhamma such as ñāṇavibhaṅga, and understanding chapter of part of purification.
Edited: tipitaka doesn't use "micchā-paññā" word, even if in abhidhamma or K.N. Paṭi. However, in conclusion of K.N. Paṭi., conclusion of Abh.Dha. Akusalacitta. and commentary of Abh.Dha. Akusalacittuppādakaṇḍa, there are acceptations of existence of micchā-paññā, but the commentary just seem to say "micchā-paññā is exist, but never found in mula-pali". I searching for the real reason through the night for that why tipitaka doesn't use "micchā-paññā", but I still not found. I guess that it maybe because of pa-upasagga. Overall, thank you, @Sankha Kulathantille very much for new knowledge.

Panna is understanding, knowledge, wisdom, insight. Panna is always correct.
Ditthi is simply view. Ditthi can be either right(Samma-ditthi) or wrong(Micca-ditti).
Samma-ditthi has 2 levels:
The right view caused by faith in another's teaching and/or faith in personal feelings,perceptions and reasoning.
ex: having the view that rebirth is true without actually knowing and without knowing the nature of phenomena
The right view caused by Panna
ex: having the view that rebirth is true by direct knowledge and/or by inference(through understanding of how phenomena arise).
Micca-ditthi has nothing to do with Panna. It is caused by ignorance and the faith in someone else's false teachings or the faith in one's own feelings, perceptions and false reasoning.
ex: believing that death is the end regardless of one's mental conditioning
