Answer 2

Answer:

He taught the lesson that death is inevitable and rather than weeping on one's sorrows, one should seek inner peace

Explanation:

In the chapter, Kisa Gautami loses her only son to death. She desperately comes to Gautam Buddha seeking cure for her son. Gautam Buddha asks her a handful of mustard seeds from a house where no loved one has died. After failing to procure seeds, Kisa Gautami realized that she had been selfish.

Gautam Buddha teaches her that death is inevitable and every mortal is under the danger of death. Instead of weeping about the sorrows, one should try to seek inner peace. The wise do not lament because they have realized this truth. Amidst the adverse circumstances one should not lament and rather be brave and face the situation.
