Answers
Answer:
Buddha teach her the lesson that death is common to all and if any one take birth than he must die one day
Answer:
Kisa gotami was deeply affected as his only son had died. Her ability to think clearly was clouded by her grief. She went house to house and asked medicine that could bring her child back to life but she was eventually failed as there is no medicine in the world which could help her to restore the life of her child.
At this time man directed her to Buddha. On seeing Gottam Buddha she was refilled with hope. Buddha gave him a exercise to do. She was asked to collect mustard seed from the house which has seen no death. She again went house to house but was not able to procure mustard see which could fulfilled Buddha's condition. She again become disheartened and after deep reflection she realised the fact that men's are mortal and everyone who is born had to die. Grieving only increases one's pain and suffering.
