Bringing Back To Life

In ancient times Siddhartha Gautam had a lot of disciples and spent most of the time with his devotees meditating. All the villagers were angry at him more over they were confused with all their kids going to Buddha and meditating and serving him instead of helping their parents. One day a woman came crying to Lord Buddha and started shouting at him abruptly. Her son had died and was in grief as she loved her son so much. She told Lord Buddha that he called himself a saint and now she wanted her child back. This is beyond a human’s capability. On this, Lord Buddha just smiled at her and told her to go and find a house where no one had died ever. If she could come up to him with such a house Lord Buddha would bring her child back to life. So to get her child back she went to each and every house of the village and enquiring them if anyone had died. No such house could be found. Still she moved forward one after another just in vain. After searching for such kind of house she finally realized that death is inevitable. Everyone has to die this day or the other. She felt ashamed for what she demanded. She then went back to Lord Buddha and apologized. From then she also became his disciple. The bottom line of the story is that Lord Buddha did not have any kinds of supernatural powers. He had learnt what life is and there is no such miracles bringing a dead body into life. He was a learned and wise man. In fact Lord Buddha is God.
