[1593] [S.] Is a view (diṭṭhigata) indeterminate (abyākata)? [P.] Yes. [S.] But was it not said by the Blessed One: "Bhikkhus, in the case of a person of wrong view (micchādiṭṭhika), whatever bodily action (kāyakamma) is adopted and undertaken in accordance with that view … and whatever verbal action (vacīkamma) … and whatever mental action (manokamma) is adopted and undertaken in accordance with that view, and whatever volition (cetanā), whatever aspiration (patthanā), whatever resolve (paṇidhi), and whatever volitional formations (saṅkhārā) there are—all those phenomena (dhammā) conduce to what is unwished for, unwanted, and disagreeable, to harm, and to suffering (dukkha)"?¹ Is there indeed such a discourse (suttanta)? [P.] Yes. [S.] Well then, it should not be said that a view is indeterminate. The Discussion of the Indeterminate (Abyākatakathā) [is concluded]. __________________ ¹ Aṅguttara Nikāya, Ekakanipāta, 41. Discussion of the Unincluded (Apariyāpannakathā)
