(2)he is not accomplished in concentration himself but he encourages others to become accomplished in concentration;
(3)he is not accomplished in wisdom himself but he encourages others to become accomplished in wisdom;
(4)he is not accomplished in liberation himself but he encourages others to become accomplished in liberation;
