What four? One is unripe but seems ripe, one is ripe but seems unripe, one is unripe and seems unripe, and one is ripe and seems ripe. These are the four mangoes. In the same way, these four individuals similar to mangoes are found in the world. What four? One is unripe but seems ripe, one is ripe but seems unripe, one is unripe and seems unripe, and one is ripe and seems ripe. And how is an individual unripe but seems ripe? 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 really 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 unripe but seems ripe. That individual is like a mango that\u2019s unripe but seems ripe, I say. And how is an individual ripe but seems unripe? It\u2019s when an individual is not impressive \u2026 But they really understand: \u2018This is suffering\u2019 \u2026 And how is an individual unripe and seems unripe? It\u2019s when an individual is not impressive \u2026 Nor do they really understand: \u2018This is suffering\u2019 \u2026 And how is an individual ripe and seems ripe? It\u2019s when an individual is impressive \u2026 And they really understand: \u2018This is suffering\u2019 \u2026 These four individuals similar to mangoes are found in the world.\u201d","title":"Mangoes","tradition":"Anguttara Nikaya","translated_text":null,"word_count":263}
