What is an example of Right View in Buddhism?

Answer 1

Right View is one of the two Wisdom portion of the Eightfold path; The other being Right Intention. Right View is also known as Right Understanding or Right Perspective. It is concerned with having the correct perspective of yourself and the universe. You need to see both as they are, not as the way you think they are (or the way they should be). So it is important when cultivating Right View that you clean out misunderstandings, and preconceived ideas a and look at everything with an open mind and in a critical manner.

So, an example of Right View would be to see that everything ends. Nothing lasts forever. We fool ourselves every day that "this day I will not die." but that is not always true and we cannot see all ends. Another would be to truly understand that we are all connected. Look at it this way. Just think of all the people it takes for you to have a loaf of bread. The cashier, the stockpersons, the truck driver who delivered it to the store, the loader at the plant that baked the bread, the bakers, the truck driver that brought the wheat to the bakery, the farmer, the person who sold the Farmer the seed and many more. To fool ourselves that our actions of body speech and mind do not have infinite ripples is a fallacy.
