Listen to the story of Kisa Gotami, the mother who suffered the death of her
only child. Listen to her pain and agony and how in that pain and agony, in
her suffering, was born her wisdom.
Listen to the story of Kisa Gotami’s suffering and how pain led to the
abiding vision in her: all things that arise must cease. All things end; that
is the natural order of things and it profits not to dwell on it. More useful
it to find the means to transcend samsara, to cross this ocean of life, birth,
transience and death.
