What four? Covered but hollow, uncovered but full, uncovered and hollow, and covered and full. These are the four pots. In the same way, these four individuals similar to pots are found in the world. What four? Covered but hollow, uncovered but full, uncovered and hollow, and covered and full. And how is an individual covered but hollow? It\u2019s when an individual is impressive when going out and coming back, when looking ahead and aside, when bending and extending the limbs, and when bearing the outer robe, bowl and robes. But they don\u2019t truly understand: \u2018This is suffering\u2019 \u2026 \u2018This is the origin of suffering\u2019 \u2026 \u2018This is the cessation of suffering\u2019 \u2026 \u2018This is the practice that leads to the cessation of suffering\u2019. That\u2019s how an individual is covered but hollow. That individual is like a pot that\u2019s covered but hollow, I say. And how is an individual uncovered but full? It\u2019s when an individual is not impressive \u2026 But they truly understand: \u2018This is suffering\u2019 \u2026 And how is an individual uncovered and hollow? It\u2019s when an individual is not impressive \u2026 Nor do they truly understand: \u2018This is suffering\u2019 \u2026 And how is an individual covered and full? It\u2019s when an individual is impressive \u2026 And they truly understand: \u2018This is suffering\u2019 \u2026 These four individuals similar to pots are found in the world.\u201d","title":"Pots","tradition":"Anguttara Nikaya","translated_text":null,"word_count":233}
