The state of wrong view or belief, which is one among the fifty-one mental states, can be subdivided into five wrong views (Skt. dṛṣṭi; Wyl. lta ba lnga):

  1. The view of the transitory collection (Wyl. 'jig tshogs la lta ba) which is the basis for the other four wrong views of beliefs
  2. Extremist views (Wyl. mthar 'dzin pa'i lta ba) such as eternalism and nihilism
  3. Wrong views (Wyl. log lta), which cut the roots of virtuous mental states and actions
  4. Belief in ideological supremacy (Wyl. lta ba mchog 'dzin)
  5. Belief in ethical and ritual supremacy (Wyl. tshul khrims dang brtul zhugs mchog 'dzin)
