The wanderer Vacchagotta asks the Buddha why the various speculative views come to be. The Buddha replies that it is because of not seeing the five aggregates.

Translations

At Sāvatthī.

Then the wanderer Vacchagotta said to the Buddha:

“What is the cause, worthy Gotama, what is the reason why these various misconceptions arise in the world? …”

“Vaccha, it is because of not seeing form …” “… feeling …” “… perception …” “… choices …” “… consciousness, its origin, its cessation, and the practice that leads to its cessation …”
