{"product_id":"the-notion-of-ditthi-in-paul-fuller-9780415650496","title":"The Notion of Ditthi in Theravada Buddhism: The Point of View","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe notion of 'view' or 'opinion' (\u003cem\u003editthi\u003c\/em\u003e) as an obstacle to 'seeing things as they are' is a central concept in Buddhist thought. This book considers the two ways in which the notion of views are usually understood. Are we to understand right-view as a correction of wrong-views (the opposition understanding) or is the aim of the Buddhist path the overcoming of all views, even right-view (the no-views understanding)? The author argues that neither approach is correct. Instead he suggests that the early texts do not understand right-view as a correction of wrong-view, but as a detached order of seeing, completely different from the attitude of holding to any view, wrong or right.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Paul Fuller\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0415650496\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780415650496\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Routledge\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/15\/2012\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 272\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.85lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.58d","brand":"Paul Fuller","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":45896418197759,"sku":"9780415650496","price":69.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_5641c50d-d066-4470-b4c4-659fac139204.jpg?v=1721371348","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-notion-of-ditthi-in-paul-fuller-9780415650496","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
