v2.c34.s3.62

By the first view the Pubbaseliyas mean that a person by having *sammādiṭṭhi* does not get rid of *dosa* (hatred), hence he can commit the sin of killing—a view wholly rejected by the Theravādins. By the second view the Uttarāpathakas assert that a person with *sammādiṭṭhi* cannot be reborn in a lower form of existence; the Theravādins point out that it may be so, but he may have *taṇhā* (desire) for objects and beings belonging to the lower forms of existences.
