Does the aproach of Bikkhu Bodhi to Right View (given in the ] The Buddha describes three paths in the Maha Cattarisaka Sutta; the path of wrong view, the path of right view with defilements (asavas), and the Noble Path of right view without asavas. What he calls RVWA is actually a collection of various superstitions and speculative views which, when held to, would lead one toward skillful action (he also delineates this in MN 60). But his own Noble Right View is rooted entirely in discernment, and when he describes what this view is, he uses the word "discernment" several times. The RVWA is concerned with gaining a "higher birth", i.e., reincarnation. This is what Bodhi concerns himself with, and holds to be the highest, ultimate goal of Buddhist practice. The quenching of misery he sees as being secondary, a small matter. In this respect, he has the Buddhadhamma entirely backwards. So, does Bikkhu Bodhi finaly understands the essence of a Noble Right View"? |
