answer:
buddha says that death and suffering is common and that the lives of all mortals would be troubled and would combined with pain. he explains this by using the example of ripened fruits and the earthen vessels made by the potters. he says that once a person reaches an old age they are in risk of dying just as a ripe fruit is in the risk of falling from the tree. he also compares the earthen vessels by saying that the pots made by a potter are also to be broken in the end. he says that all people young, old, poor, rich will fall into the power of death.
