What are the four wheels and nine doors mentioned in the sutta below?
Why is it "born from a bog"?
What is the meaning of the sutta?
From the Four Wheels Sutta (Sutta Nipata 1.29) :
> “Having four wheels and nine doors,
> Filled up and bound with greed,
> Born from a bog, O great hero!
> How does one escape from it?”
>
> “Having cut the thong and the strap,
> Having cut off evil desire and greed,
> Having drawn out craving with its root:
> Thus one escapes from it.”
