प्रश्न
How does Buddha bring about a different perspective in Kisa Gotami's understanding of life?
उत्तर
After losing her only child, Kisa sought out Buddha. She went to each of her neighbours in her initial state of intense grief to seek medication for her dead kid. She had completely lost all of her senses and had forgotten that there was no cure for death. She then visited Buddha in an effort to revive her deceased son. She was instructed by Buddha to collect some mustard seeds from a home where no one had died. But she was unable to locate such a residence. Buddha made her realise that death is common to all. One must accept the truth and should have farsightedness. Weeping and grieving over the death of near and dear ones cannot bring peace of mind. Blessed is the person who overcomes sorrow. She learned that a person who remains composed after the death of his kinsmen obtains peace of mind. In such a way, Buddha brought about a different but meaningful perspective in Kisa Gotami's understanding of life.
