Question

What message might the Buddha’s story hold for those who are in positions of power and privilege?
question from sermon at the banares​

Answer 1

The theme of the chapter is the inevitability of death. Anything that

comes in this mortal world is bound to perish. The Sermon at

Benares reflects the Budhha’s wisdom and he brings home the

point that the principle of appearing and disappearing applies to every phase of life. In short, everything in this world is subject to decay.
