In Buddhism
Theravada (major branch of Buddhism)
Self identification view. The view that mistakenly identifies any of the khandha as "self"; the first of the ten fetters (samyojana). Abandonment of sakkaya ditthi is one of the hallmarks of stream entry (see sotapanna).'personality-belief', is the first of the 10 fetters (samyojana).
It is entirely abandoned only on reaching the path of Stream-winning (sotāpatti-magga; s. ariya-puggala).
There are 20 kinds of personality-belief, which are obtained by applying 4 types of that belief to each of the 5 groups of existence (khandha):
- (1-5) the belief to be identical with corporeality, feeling, perception, mental formations or consciousness;
- (6-10) to be contained in them;
- (11-15) to be independent of them;
- (16-20) to be the owner of them (M.44; S.XXII.1).
See prec., ditthi, upādāna 4.
Sakkaya (Sa or Santo, that means which really exists, and Kaya, aggregate) means the five aggregates which really exist. Ditthi means 'wrong view'. These two words constitute Sakkaya Ditthi.
Theravāda is a major branch of Buddhism having the the Pali canon (tipitaka) as their canonical literature, which includes the vinaya-pitaka (monastic rules), the sutta-pitaka (Buddhist sermons) and the abhidhamma-pitaka (philosophy and psychology).

sakkāyadiṭṭhi : (f.) heresy of individuality.
Sakkāyadiṭṭhi refers to: theory of soul, heresy of individuality, speculation as to the eternity or otherwise of one’s own individuality M. I, 300=III, 17=DhS 1003, S. III, 16 sq. In these passages this is explained as the belief that in one or other of the khandhas there is a permanent entity, an attā. The same explanation, at greater length, in the Diṭṭhigata Sutta (Ps. I, 143—151). As delusions about the soul or ghost can arise out of four sorts of bias (see abhinivesa) concerning each of the five khandhas, we have twenty kinds of s° diṭṭhi: fifteen of these are kinds of sakkāya-vatthukā sassata-diṭṭhi, and five are kinds of s°-vatthukā uccheda-diṭṭhi (ibid. 149, 150). Gods as well as men are s° pariyāpannā S. III, 85; and so is the eye, DhsA. 308. When the word diṭṭhi is not expressed it is often implied, Th. 2, 199, 339; Sn. 231. S° diṭṭhi is the first Bond to be broken on entering the Path (see saṃyojana); it is identical with the fourth kind of Grasping (see upādāna); it is opposed to Nibbāna, S. IV, 175; is extinguished by the Path, M. I, 299; S. III, 159; IV, 260; and is to be put away by insight DhsA. 346.—See further: D. III, 234; A. III, 438; IV, 144 sq.; Kvu 81; Sn. 950; Dhs. 1003; and on term Dhs. translation § 1003; K. S. III, 80, n. 3.
Note: sakkāyadiṭṭhi is a Pali compound consisting of the words sakkāya and diṭṭhi.
Pali is the language of the Tipiṭaka, which is the sacred canon of Theravāda Buddhism and contains much of the Buddha’s speech. Closeley related to Sanskrit, both languages are used interchangeably between religions.
