sn56.40:2.2 Eight feet were buried underground, and eight above ground.
sn56.40:2.3 Even if violent storms were to blow up out of the east, the west, the north, and the south, they couldn’t make it shake or rock or tremble.
sn56.40:2.4 Why is that?
sn56.40:2.5 It’s because that stone post is firmly embedded, with deep foundations.

sn56.40:2.14 The noble truths of suffering, its origin, its cessation, and the path.
