Find That Which Never Dies

This is a great story about a grieving mother and the great advice the

Buddha gave to her...enjoy!

A woman's husband died. She was young, had only one child. She wanted to

commit sati, she wanted to jump in the funeral pyre with her husband, but

this small child prevented her. She had to live for this small child.

 

But then the small child died; now it was too much. She went almost insane,

asking people, "Is there any physician anywhere who can make my child alive

again? I was living only for him, now my whole life is simply dark." It

happened that Buddha was coming to the town, so people said, "You take the

child to Buddha. Tell him that you were living for this child, and the child

has died, and ask him, 'You are such a great enlightened person, call him

back to life! Have mercy on me!'"

 

So she went to Buddha. She put the dead body of the child at Buddha's feet

and she said, "Call him back to life. You know all the secrets of life, you

have attained to the ultimate peak of existence. Can't you do a small

miracle for a poor woman?"

 

Buddha said, "I will do it, but there is a condition."

 

She said, "I will fulfill any condition."

 

Buddha said, "The condition is, you go around the town and from a house

where nobody has ever died, bring a few mustard seeds."

 

The woman could not understand the strategy. She went to one house, and they

said, "A few mustard seeds? We can bring a few bullock carts full of mustard

seeds if Buddha can bring your son back to life. But we have seen so many

deaths in our family...." It was a small village, and she went to every

house. Everybody was ready: "How many seeds do you want?" But the condition

was impossible because they had all seen so many deaths in their

families....

 

By the evening she understood that whoever is born is going to die, so what

is the point of getting the child back again? "He will die again. It is

better for you yourself to seek the eternal, which is never born and never

dies." She came back, empty-handed.

 

Buddha asked, "Where are the mustard seeds?" She laughed. In the morning she

had come crying; now she laughed, and she said, "You tricked me! Everybody

who is born is going to die. There is no family in the whole world where

nobody has died. So I don't want my son to be brought again back to

life--what is the point? Forget about the child. Initiate me into the art of

meditation so that I can go into the land, the space of immortality, where

birth and death have never happened."

 

Before life disappears, use the opportunity to find that which never dies.
