The Woman And A Handful Of Mustard This was an incident that took place as Lord Buddha was on his travels to preach the new way of life. It teaches us that sorrow befalls everyone. One must have courage and move forwards. A woman was mourning her son's death. When she heard of Lord Buddha's arrival, she ran to him and begged him to return the life of the boy. Lord Buddha agreed but said that to bring the boy back to life, he needed a handful of mustard from a house that has not known death. The woman wandered from house to house and found that death had touched every house and family in some form or the other. She came back to Lord Buddha and said that she understood what Lord Buddha wanted to teach her. Death is a universal truth and no one can escape its clutches. The only thing one can do is to pray for the peace of the souls that have departed ©SOUL EMOTIONS Truth of death
