The Prison of Life (9)

The Prison of Life #9

Buddhadasa Bhikkhu

Prison is our own diṭṭhi. The Pāli word ‘diṭṭhi’ is difficult to translate. Knowledge, thoughts, ideas, theories, opinions, beliefs, positions, and understanding — all these are diṭṭhis. Diṭṭhi means all our personal thoughts, opinions, theories, and beliefs

Beware of the prison of one’s own diṭṭhi.
