Reducing attachment to views?

[Hanzze]

As long as aversion and disgust is just leading to search the middle this interpretation is good. Disgust is a good word. But its always good to look on the real origin and not the present use of words.

From Old French desgouster (“to put off one's appetite”), from des- (“dis-”) + gouster, goster (“to taste”), from Latin gustus (“a tasting”).

Disgust -> "anti yummy yummy" is a good way to the middle and leads to abandoning, and overeating to satiation.

Abandoning is common seen as reject or dislike, but it is not like that. How ever, to think on the body parts and the disrelish behind might help to to disgust.

Do you like metallica? That is a good video to reflect:

This article by Bhikkhu Bodhi might be of interest:
''The Buddha's teaching repeatedly cautions us about the dangers in clinging — in clinging to possessions, clinging to pleasures, clinging to people, clinging to views.
The Buddha sounds such words of warning because he discerns in clinging a potent cause of suffering, and he thus advises us that the price we must pay to arrive at the "far shore" of liberation is the relinquishment of every type of clinging. In a move that at first glance may even seem self-destructive on the part of a religious founder, the Buddha says that we should not cling even to his teachings, that even the wholesome principles of the Dhamma have to be treated like the makeshift raft used to carry us across the stream.'' ...............

It is very important to not use word carelessly

The issue here is "attachment" rather than "views"

"Attachment" (upadana) means "to cling", "to obsess", "to possess personally", "to make heavy", "to be burdened & weighed down"

Thus the instruction of the Buddha here is very simple, namely, to not be attached to views (rather than to extinguish views)

You mean, to the 'wise' there is more to the Bodhi of evidence than the evidence of Bodhi ?   LOL

Such things can also reduce your attachment to views *smile* But you need to spend really all of your possessions to gain such things. Do not spend a cent for something else. Give it all.

Maybe you would like to reduce your attachment to this view? If you don't like to reduce it than that's just manifestation of your attachment
