sakkaya-ditthi: "own-body view", the first fetter.
A "fetter" binds you down to where you don't want to be.
Where do these fetters bind us to? To the sangsara. The sangsara is the plane of suffering in which "kayas" (bodies), physical and mental, incessantly appear and disappear. Any view about "OWN BODY" bind one to this level of suffering where the bodies are. One is born and dies over and over again until one can break free of "OWN" and "VIEW".
The sangsara does not come to an end of itself. One has to break free of it.
