Our teacher Lord Buddha said that,
“Oh Bhikshus, All compounded things are impermanent"
On this earth, every existence things are the nature of impermanence. If you asked how? In that case, Lord Buddha express that, ' entire impermanence thing was classified in four parts. And that four parts are, the end of accumulated things will gradually exhaust and get vanish.
Like every constructed Palace of king and house will eventually
Fall and get vanish.
At the moment we all are gathered together, but everyone by one we all will depart and get vanish. Since we all are born we will die at the end. We will get aware of this through the story of Lord Buddha's teaching on the impermanence of death.
Story follows:
Once upon a time there lived a women
Her name was Kisa Gotami
Kisa Gotami was a young woman from a prosperous family
She married happily to a wealthy man and had one child
One day her only little child died
After losing her child, Kisa Gautami was stricken with immense grief
Her heart was broken
She became desperate and asked if anyone could help her
Her sorrow was so Gigantic that many people thought she had lost her mind.
She got almost insane and went around with her child’s DEAD body
And asking people: “is there any physician anywhere who can make my child alive again?
Please tell me
One of the villagers said to her
“I don’t know any physician but Buddha is coming to our village
Buddha is an enlightened being. It’s a great chance.
You take your child to Buddha and ask him to help you.”
Maybe he can make your son alive again
So, she went to Buddha with her dead child
She put the dead body of her child at Buddha’s feet and said
“Please call him back to life”
You know all the matters of life
“you have attained enlightenment”
“can’t you do a small miracle for a misfortune woman?”
Buddha listened to her with patience and compassion
Then he said
“Kisa Gotami, I have a way to bring your son back to life.”
She said “My Lord, I will do anything to bring my son back”
Buddha said, “if that is the case, then I need you to find me something.”
“Bring me some mustard seeds and I will help you.”
Kisa Gotami agreed and turned to the village to collect seeds
As she was going to move Buddha stopped her and said
Remember you only have to get seeds from a house where no one has ever died
Kisa Gotami eagerly and happily agreed and rushed towards the village to collect mustard seeds.
At the first house, she asked for mustard seeds
She got seeds easily but as she was going to turn back she remembered that
Buddha said it must be from a house where no one has ever died.
She asked this question to the landlady at the doorstep
But she told her that her husband’s father had died just last week
Oh “then I cannot use these seeds,” Kisa said
And move further
So she went to the next house
She got a reply that a grandfather had died there
She moved to the next house
A little girl had died there of an illness
She went to the next and on to the next and it continued.
She got a similar answer from every house
She could not find any house where there have never been any death
Toward evening when she was tired and hopeless
Suddenly she realized that the Buddha was trying to teach her something
She had come to the understanding that death is the destiny of all people
No one can escape from it
She took her baby to the cremation ground
And then returned to Buddha
Buddha asked her, ”where are mustard seeds?”
Kisa Gotami smiled and said, “you have tricked me”
There is no family, not in this village, nor in the whole world, where nobody has died
Everybody who is born is going to die one day.
She said I understand now that suffering is a part of life And death comes to us all
I don’t want my son back to life again
Please guide me into the art of meditation
So that I can go into the pure land
The space of immortality
“where birth and death have never happened.”
Buddha said, “Now you have understood that suffering is part of life and death is inevitable”
“One day it will come to us all”
“Now you are ready to enter into the path”
And it is said that
At that time Buddha guided her into the art of meditation
And she became one of the enlightened ones among Buddha's disciples.
We see in our life People are so easily grief-stricken by adversity in their lives But they forget that no house, no person in this world is without sadness or love. Sorrow, sadness, happiness, and love are always going to be a part of our lives We need to remember to practice peace and patience
So that we can guide our lives and not be led by these passing emotions
