ousandth, a one hundred-thousandth—the water drawn out with the tip of the blade of grass—when compared with the water in the pond." "In the same way, monks, for a disciple of the noble ones who is consummate in view, an individual who has broken through (to stream-entry), the suffering & stress totally ended & extinguished is far greater. That which remains in the state of having at most seven remaining lifetimes is next to nothing: Itâs not a hundredth, a thousandth, a one hundred-thousandth, when compared with the previous mass of suffering. Thatâs how great the benefit is of breaking through to the Dhamma, monks. Thatâs how great the benefit is of obtaining the Dhamma eye." - --> - - - -
