Lord Buddha and a Bereaved Mother
Once there lived a poor woman in a village. She had only a son. But she lost him one day.. she tried her best to revive him. But all her efforts ended in smoke. At last she came to lord Buddha and asked him to restore her dead son to life again. Lord Buddha said that her son could be brought back to life if she could bring him a hand full of mustard seeds from a house where death has never entered. The lady was very pleased. She went from door to door seeking a house as told by the lord. Everywhere she was told that the people had lost some of their loved ones. Her efforts were in vain. She came back to the lord with the sad news. Then the Lord consoled her by saying that everyone should put up with the grief caused by the death of their loved ones since death is common for all.
