In Buddhism, Right View is part of the Noble Eightfold Path. But attachment to views, even right views, is always a hindrance. In The Mind Like Fire Unbound, Thanissaro Bhikkhu comments:

“Attachment to views can block an experience of Unbinding in any of three major ways. First, the content of the view itself may not be conducive to the arising of discernment and may even have a pernicious moral effect on one’s actions…

Secondly, apart from the actual content of the views, a person attached to views is bound to get into disputes with those who hold opposing views, resulting in unwholesome mental states for the winners as well as the losers…

Thirdly, and more profoundly, attachment to views implicitly involves attachment to a sense of ‘superior’ & ‘inferior,’ and to the criteria used in measuring and making such evaluations..[but as the Buddha explains] any measure or criterion acts as a limitation or bond on the mind…”

Dutthatthaka Sutta: Corrupted

translated from the Pali by Thanissaro Bhikkhu

There are some who dispute

corrupted at heart,

and those who dispute

their hearts set on truth,

but a sage doesn’t enter

a dispute that’s arisen,

which is why he is

nowhere constrained.

Now, how would one

led on by desire,

entrenched in his likes,

forming his own conclusions,

overcome his own views?

He’d dispute in line

with the way that he knows.

Whoever boasts to others, unasked,

of his practices, precepts,

is, say the skilled,

ignoble by nature —

he who speaks of himself

of his own accord.

But a monk at peace,

fully unbound in himself,

who doesn’t boast of his precepts

— “That’s how I am” —

he, say the skilled,

is noble by nature —

he with no vanity

with regard to the world.

One whose doctrines aren’t clean —

fabricated, formed, given preference

when he sees it to his own advantage —

relies on a peace

dependent

on what can be shaken.

Because entrenchments in views

aren’t easily overcome

when considering what’s grasped

among doctrines,

that’s why

a person embraces or rejects a doctrine —

in light of these very

entrenchments.

Now, one who is cleansed

has no preconceived view

about states of becoming

or not-

anywhere in the world.

Having abandoned conceit & illusion,

by what means would he go?

He isn’t involved.

For one who’s involved

gets into disputes

over doctrines,

but how — in connection with what —

would you argue

with one uninvolved?

He has nothing

embraced or rejected,

has sloughed off every view

right here — every one.

The Buddha
