[761] Which phenomena (dhammā) are misapprehensions (parāmāsā)?
The misapprehension of view (diṭṭhi-parāmāsa).
Therein, which is the misapprehension of view?
"The world is eternal," or "the world is not eternal," or "the world is finite," or "the world is infinite," or "the soul (jīva) and the body are the same," or "the soul is one thing, the body another," or "the Tathāgata exists after death," or "the Tathāgata does not exist after death," or "the Tathāgata both exists and does not exist after death," or "the Tathāgata neither exists nor does not exist after death" — whatever view (diṭṭhi) of such a kind, speculative view (diṭṭhigata), the thicket of views, the wilderness of views, the contortion of views, the vacillation of views, the fetter of views (diṭṭhi-saññojana), grasping, holding fast, adherence, misapprehension, the bad road, the wrong way, wrongness (micchatta), the ground of sectarian tenets (titthāyatana), the inverted grasp — this is called the misapprehension of view.
All wrong view (micchādiṭṭhi) is the misapprehension of view.
These phenomena are misapprehensions.
Which phenomena are not misapprehensions?
Setting aside those phenomena, the remaining wholesome, unwholesome, and indeterminate phenomena (kusala-akusala-abyākata dhammā) — belonging to the sense sphere (kāmāvacara), to the form sphere (rūpāvacara), to the formless sphere (arūpāvacara), and unincluded (apariyāpanna): the aggregate of feeling (vedanākkhandha) … the aggregate of consciousness (viññāṇakkhandha), and all form (rūpa), and the unconditioned element (asaṅkhatā dhātu) — these phenomena are not misapprehensions.
