In Zen Buddhism, “wrong views” are misconceptions that can lead to spiritual confusion and misdirection in practice, hindering an individual's path to enlightenment. Zen Buddhism places special emphasis on transcending words and concepts through direct experience, so it pays special attention to the overcoming of wrong views.
Often, “wrong views” are based on a misunderstanding of the nature of things, such as self, time, life, or phenomena. Zen Buddhism believes that these misconceptions lead to increased pain and suffering because they prevent direct insight into the true nature of things.
Zen encourages direct experience of mind and phenomena through meditation, transcending the limitations of words and theories.
Continuous self-reflection and awareness of one's own thinking and behavior patterns are also important ways to correct misconceptions.
Koan is a unique Zen practice method designed to break conventional thinking patterns and help practitioners clear their minds of wrong views through in-depth thinking and breakthroughs on difficult problems.
In Zen Buddhism, “wrong views” are not simply theoretical errors but practical obstacles that practitioners need to overcome in their pursuit of enlightenment.
