Life is full of trials and tribulations. Kisa Gotami also passes through a period of grief in her life. How does she behave in those circumstances?
Answer: Kisa Gotami was very sad losing her only child. She carried her dead child to her neighbours in order to get medicine to bring him back to life. Her neighbours thought that she had gone insane as she was not able to accept the fact. It was at that time when someone suggested her to go to Sakyamuni, the Buddha.
When she asked the Buddha to give her the medicine to cure her boy, the Buddha told her to fetch a handful of mustard-seed from a house where no one had lost a child, a husband, parent or friend. She went from door to door of people’s houses but didn’t find a single house where no one had died. Observing this, she chanced upon a realisation that death is an inevitable part of life and anyone who is bom is bound to die one day. Thus, the Buddha changed her understanding of death by this exercise.
