Lesson on death and suffering did the Buddha teach Gotami in the chapter, ‘The Sermon at Benaras’ was :
- Buddha asked her to look for mustard seeds and the seeds must be procured from a house that had seen no death.
- Reinstated with hope, Kisa Gotami once again went on a search from house to house but to her dismay, she could not find mustard seeds from a house that would fulfill Buddha’s condition.
- She became conscious to the fact that men were mortal and no one could escape the cycle of life.
- This was exactly what Buddha wanted her to understand.
- According to Lord Buddha, feelings of grief and sorrow only increases man’s pain and suffering thus, deteriorating his health.
- Therefore, a wise person fully aware about nature’s functioning must not grieve at something bound to happen and only then he can be happy and blessed.
