Dear Yong Peng,
thank you for suttas 28 and 29. They are short but very meaningful.

N: I just have a remark about the contents.
Three kinds of wrong view are akusala kamma patha that can result in
an unhappy rebirth:
1. natthika-di.t.thi, there is no result of kamma;
2. ahetuka-ditthi, there are no causes;
3. akiriya di.t.thi, there is no such thing as kamma.

These are very dangerous. One may think that it does not matter to
kill, since there are no kamma, no result.
There are many other kinds of wrong view such as personality view,
sakkaaya di.t.thi, but these are not akusala kamma patha. We all have
them so long as we have not attained nelightenment.

As to sammaa-di.t.thi, this is righ view of the eightfold Path. This
short sutta is an exhortation to develop this kind of right
understanding. When it has developed to lokuttara sammaa-di.t.thi,
there will not be an unhappy rebirth again. It may be rebirth as a
human or a deva.

Nina.
