Various kinds of views arise in the world due to not seeing the aggregates, the arising of the aggregates, the cessation of the aggregates, and the practice leading to the cessation of the aggregates.

Ekamantaṁ nisinno kho vacchagotto paribbājako bhagavantaṁ etadavoca:
While seated to one side, the wanderer Vacchagotta addressed the Blessed One:
“ko nu kho, bho gotama, hetu, ko paccayo, yānimāni anekavihitāni diṭṭhigatāni loke uppajjanti—sassato lokoti vā, asassato lokoti vā …pe… neva hoti na na hoti tathāgato paraṁ maraṇāti vā”ti?
“Venerable Gotama, what is the cause and condition for the various kinds of views that arise in the world, such as: ‘The world is eternal,’ or ‘The world is not eternal,’ ... or ‘After death a Tathāgata neither exists nor does not exist’?”
“Rūpe kho, vaccha, adassanā …pe… rūpanirodhagāminiyā paṭipadāya adassanā …pe… vedanāya … saññāya … saṅkhāresu kho, vaccha, adassanā …pe… viññāṇe kho, vaccha, adassanā …pe… viññāṇanirodhagāminiyā paṭipadāya adassanā …pe….
[The Blessed One replied]: “Vaccha, it is from not seeing form, not seeing the arising of form, not seeing the cessation of form, not seeing the practice leading to the cessation of form that these various kinds of views arise in the world, such as: ‘The world is eternal,’ ... or ‘After death a Tathāgata neither exists nor does not exist.’ It is from not seeing feeling, not seeing the arising of feeling, not seeing the cessation of feeling, not seeing the practice leading to the cessation of feeling. It is from not seeing perception, not seeing the arising of perception, not seeing the cessation of perception, not seeing the practice leading to the cessation of perception. It is from not seeing mental formations, not seeing the arising of mental formations, not seeing the cessation of mental formations, not seeing the practice leading to the cessation of mental formations. It is from not seeing consciousness, not seeing the arising of consciousness, not seeing the cessation of consciousness, not seeing the practice leading to the cessation of consciousness that these various kinds of views arise in the world, such as: ‘The world is eternal,’ ... or ‘After death a Tathāgata neither exists nor does not exist.’”
