Which analogy does chapter 37 use to explain that the destruction of the body is not the end of existence?

๐Ÿ“– Chapter 37

To illustrate that death is not the end of existence, Chapter 37 uses the analogy of a broken pot. It explains that when a pot is broken with a stone, only its form is destroyed, not its fundamental existence. The text points out that even in the broken pieces, the continuity of the 'pot-existence' remains. This analogy serves to explain that the passing of someone's body is a similar process; it is the destruction of a form, but it does not end in nothingness. The underlying principle is that the effect is not separate from its cause, implying a continuity of being beyond the physical body.
