The Brahmajāla-sutta
Re: The Brahmajāla-sutta
It is wrong idea to put right view in the same level as 62 brahmajala views. Rison is simple: righ view is view only on verbal plane, in reality it is direct knowlegde. 62 views are dependent on sakkya-ditthi, but to be free from sakkaya-diithi it is not matter of rational view which can be attained by only reasoning, but direct experience of sotapanna.63rd View?
The Brahmajāla-sutta, we may think, does not explicitly contain a sixty-third view which is the insight and knowledge which gives the correct proposition in opposition to the sixty-two views. This is true as far as it goes, but also misleading. In my understanding, the Brahmajāla-sutta does suggest what correct knowledge is. This is knowledge (or understanding) of rise and fall, the anuloma and paṭiloma (forward and reverse) knowledge (or understanding) of ‘dependent-origination’ (paṭicca-samuppāda):
The man who wants to avoid grotesque collapses should not look for anything to fulfill him in space and time.

Oh no! I think someone is applying Gödel's incompleteness theorem to the Brahmajala!!!!
Like the three marks of conditioned existence, this world in itself is filthy, hostile, and crowded
