What is the destination of the people who get Buddha's teachings wrong?
For instance some think self view is just a strategy .
Others think Nibbana is a real place or arahants do not exist after death.
Basically the question is what is the destination for people with wrong view?
What about the people who misinterpret Anatta?

Re: What is the destination of the people who get Buddha's teachings wrong?
destination.? dhammawheel.com of course, where they, with shame, good humour and with diligent (correct) practice, get back on track.
Re: What is the destination of the people who get Buddha's teachings wrong?
For example Christianity but has wrong view , they do wholesome action still get reborn in heaven .
Re: What is the destination of the people who get Buddha's teachings wrong?
Nope. Christians go to Hell. Christians teach that Buddhists go to Hell - so we must adopt the middle way and send all the Christians to Hell. It is the only way to achieve balance.

Re: What is the destination of the people who get Buddha's teachings wrong?
Some Christians might teach that Buddhists go to hell, in the same way that some Buddhists teach things which are substantially different from other Buddhists. But it's not a significantly characteristic teaching. I live in a strongly Christian community and have never heard that teaching, or anything like it. One's understanding of Christianity is of course conditioned by the contact one has had with Christians, which is why it might be good to exercise circumspection around beliefs.
Re: What is the destination of the people who get Buddha's teachings wrong?
Similar to Angulimala, their destination is having the good fortune of a compassionate teacher correcting their wrong views.
There is always an official executioner. If you try to take his place, It is like trying to be a master carpenter and cutting wood. If you try to cut wood like a master carpenter, you will only hurt your hand.

Re: What is the destination of the people who get Buddha's teachings wrong?
Almost exactly like the Christians.
They approached the islanders and preached the gospel. The islanders asked what happened if they chose not to believe. The Christians told them Hell.
The islanders asked “what if we’d never heard of Christ in the first place?”
The Cristians replied, “oh. Well. Nothing.”
“Then why’d you tell us!!!” The islanders exclaimed.

Where I live (a moderately secular community which Grew up in a time of dominant Christianity) the price for not believing in God’s Sacrifice of His One and Only Son was an eternity in Hell.Sam Vara wrote: ↑Fri Jul 12, 2019 6:48 amSome Christians might teach that Buddhists go to hell, in the same way that some Buddhists teach things which are substantially different from other Buddhists.

If the Christian dogma doesn’t preach “believe in Christ or perish”, then where do the pagans go? What was the purpose of the sacrifice of Jesus?

Re: What is the destination of the people who get Buddha's teachings wrong?
How can we possibly know?
I have heard the account of someone who was apparently a once returner who said in a past life he was a priest to Shiva in the himalayas.
He had wrong view yet he was reborn relatively close to that life as a human being once again, this time becoming an anagami.
If one has wrong view that is not corrected, eventually everyone in this position goes down the line to the lower realms... What is important is we try to correct our own wrong views.

Re: What is the destination of the people who get Buddha's teachings wrong?
Since hell is "painful feelings" and animal womb is "non-transcending" (lit: "moving horizontally"), obviously these are the destinations of those who don't penetrate the Teachings. Their minds continue to wallow in ignorance & dukkha.
