sn41.3:4.1 Now at that time Venerable Isidatta was the most junior mendicant in that Saṅgha.
sn41.3:4.2 He said to the senior venerable,
sn41.3:4.3 “Honorable Senior, may I answer Citta’s question?”
sn41.3:4.4 “Answer it, Reverend Isidatta.”
sn41.3:4.5 “Householder, is this your question:
sn41.3:4.6 ‘There are many different views that arise in the world …
sn41.3:4.8 When what exists do these views come to be? When what doesn’t exist do these views not come to be?’”
sn41.3:4.9 “Yes, sir.”
sn41.3:4.10 “Householder, there are many different views that arise in the world. For example:
sn41.3:4.11 the cosmos is eternal, or not eternal, or finite, or infinite; the soul and the body are one and the same, or the soul is one thing, the body another; after death, a realized one still exists, or no longer exists, or both still exists and no longer exists, or neither still exists nor no longer exists.
sn41.3:4.12 And also the sixty-two misconceptions spoken of in ‘The Divine Net’.
sn41.3:4.13 These views come to be when substantialist view exists. When substantialist view does not exist they do not come to be.”
