Answer:
When Kisa Gotami went to the Buddha for the medicine to revive her a Buddha told her to procure a handful of mustard seeds from a house where no one and gave her the seeds. She then asked them if anyone in the family had died, and they answered that many were dead in the house and it aggrieved them to remember those dead people. She became weary and hopeless after going to several houses and getting the same response. As she sat wearily she saw the city lights go out, and darkness reigned everywhere. She finally grasped the Buddha’s underlying meaning. She returned to the Buddha and narrated her experience. Thereafter the Buddha sermonized her that the life of mortals in this world is troubled and painful; that the world is afflicted with death and decay, and so there is no point in grieving over something which is inescapable.
Buddha said the world is afflicted with death and decay is correct.
- The question has been asked from the story The Sermon at Benares.
- Buddha says that, in this created universe, everything is subject to apparent death.
- He furthermore significantly says that suffering, sickness or pain are profoundly influenced by the environment, and both death and decay eventually occur.
- Sakyamuni's remarkable sermon focused to universally recognise death as a reality, and the truth which doesn't alter sorrow, reduce pain or resurrect a deceased individual, yet merely make living tougher.
- Humans are mortal is a hard and a firm fact as any natural phenomena. The noble birth and death cycle is eternal and unceasingly continues.
- Acceptance of this fact is necessary, and one must aspire to do at least one worthy deed every day and live life to the fullest in light of the transient existence of life.
