Kiso Gotami and the mustard seed (Dukkha)
Kiso Gotami’s baby died and she went to the Buddha to ask him to revive it, the Buddha said If she could get a mustard seed from someone who’s never experienced death he would revive her baby, she couldn’t find anyone who hadn’t experienced death and she learned that everyone suffers and she just has to accept it and then she would suffer no longer
Dukkha
Everyone suffers
