- Term
The extreme philosophical view that rejects rebirth and the law of karma by considering that causes (and thus actions) do not have effects and that the self, being the same as one or all of the aggregates (skandhas), ends at death. Commonly translated as “nihilism” or, more literally, as “view of annihilation.” It is often mentioned along with its opposite view, the extreme of eternalism or permanence.

- chad par lta ba
- ucchedadṛṣṭi
The second of two extreme views that keep one deluded with regard to reality. Nihilism is a view equally based on clinging to a truly existent essence called 'self.' It is the belief that once this self ends with death, everything associated with it ends. It therefore rejects rebirth and the law of karma, or cause and effect.
