1At Sāvatthī. "Bhikkhus, when what exists, by clinging to what, by adhering to what, does wrong view arise?"[n.234] Micchādiṭṭhi. In the Nikāyas usually explained as the nihilist view, e.g., at MN I 287,12–18. For text, see SN24.5.

"Venerable sir, our teachings are rooted in the Blessed One … ."

"When there is form, bhikkhus, by clinging to form, by adhering to form, wrong view arises.

When there is feeling … perception … volitional formations … consciousness, by clinging to consciousness, by adhering to consciousness, wrong view arises.

"What do you think, bhikkhus, is form … feeling … perception … volitional formations … consciousness permanent or impermanent?" sn.iii.185
"Impermanent, venerable sir."
"Is what is impermanent suffering or happiness?"
"Suffering, venerable sir."

"But without clinging to what is impermanent, suffering, and subject to change, could wrong view arise?"

"No, venerable sir."

"Seeing thus, bhikkhus, the instructed noble disciple experiences revulsion towards form, revulsion towards feeling, revulsion towards perception, revulsion towards volitional formations, revulsion towards consciousness.

Experiencing revulsion, he becomes dispassionate. Through dispassion his mind is liberated. When it is liberated there comes the knowledge: ‘It's liberated.’

He understands: ‘Destroyed is birth, the holy life has been lived, what had to be done has been done, there is no more for this state of being.’"
