==== Theravada ==== Right View can be further subdivided, states translator Bhikkhu Bodhi, into mundane right view and superior or supramundane right view:<ref name="BBodhi_NEP">{{cite web |url=http://www.accesstoinsight.org/lib/authors/bodhi/waytoend.html#ch2 |title=The Noble Eightfold Path: The Way to the End of Suffering |access-date=10 July 2010 |publisher=Access to Insight |last=Bhikkhu Bodhi |archive-date=28 August 2019 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190828222920/http://www.accesstoinsight.org/lib/authors/bodhi/waytoend.html#ch2 |url-status=live }}</ref>{{Sfn|Fuller|2005|p=56}} # Mundane right view, knowledge of the fruits of good behavior (''karma'').
