The Buddha uses a simile of seven lumps of clay placed on the great earth to illustrate the extent of suffering that is exhausted and overcome by a disciple of the noble ones who has attained right view.
Pathavī sutta - Earth
At Sāvatthi.
"Bhikkhus, suppose that a person were to place seven lumps of clay the size of jujube kernels on the great earth.
What do you think, bhikkhus, which is greater: the seven lumps of clay that were placed, or the great earth?"
"Venerable sir, the great earth is far greater. The seven lumps of clay that were placed are very little. Compared to the great earth, the seven lumps of clay do not amount to a hundredth part, nor a thousandth part, nor even a hundred-thousandth part."
"Just so, bhikkhus, for the disciple of the noble ones who has attained right view, who has completely penetrated [the four noble truths], this much greater is the suffering that is exhausted and overcome; only a small amount remains. It does not come to a hundredth part, nor to a thousandth part, nor to a hundred-thousandth part of the former mass of suffering that is exhausted and overcome compared to this final state of having at most seven more existences. Thus great, bhikkhus, is the realization of the Dhamma; thus great is the attainment of the vision of the Dhamma."
