The Buddha mentioned quite a number of good and quite a number of bad qualities and character traits in the Suttas.
Sometimes, he even compared them with each other and singles out a ``chief'' when it comes to wholesome and unwholesome things.
That chief is always related to your views.
Today, we discuss why ``Wrong View'' is indeed the most harmful thing you can have.
With wrong view, any kind of progress on the Path is 100% impossible.

There are unlimited wrong views.
A single wrong view can block all progress.
Practice until Stream Entry is all about aligning your views and conduct with the Dhamma.
You try to understand the practice and where it leads to.
Only based on that can you move there in a targeted and fast manner!

    The explanation on the harmful effects of wrong views, especially in hindering progress towards liberation, was particularly insightful. Thank you for sharing such valuable wisdom!

    A funny incident happened to me yesterday that illustrates the impact of views. My daughter had a spring toy (big spring that can go down stairs). At both ends, the tips of the spring were soldered on themselves, forming two circles at the ends (I do not mean by this that the spring formed a bracelet, this is key, the ends were just reinforced to form a more stable landing circle). I was with a friend and suddenly my daughter showed up with the spring and a necklace stuck in the middle. We tried to make the necklace go to one end but it was stuck by the circle. We were completely bewildered: how did she manage to get a closed loop (the necklace) stuck in another closed loop (the spring soldered at both ends)? Eventually we just untied the necklace to free it. But as we were so bewildered, we decided to get it stuck on purpose again, which happened quickly. Yet, we were still unable to free it! However, I knew then that I must have had a self limiting belief. Suddenly it hit me: the spring is not a closed loop, soldering a circle at the end doesn't change the fact that it is a spring. We had been stuck in this wrong view which was colouring our perception, literally. Once I removed the wrong view, freeing the necklace became child's play. Furthermore, I was wondering how on earth I could have ever believed previously that the spring was a closed loop. Right away I thought : this is such a metaphor for the path and the impact of wrong view!!
