Practicing Success
The Buddha's teachings have been pieced together through narratives primarily found in the Sutta Pitaka. These stories vary; while some illustrate his miraculous abilities, others emphasize his preference for reasoning and persuasion over demonstrations of supernatural power. An example of this approach is evident when a grieving woman, whose child had passed away, sought solace from the Buddha. Instead of performing a miracle and bringing the child back to life, the Buddha compassionately explained the inevitability of death, offering her wisdom to find peace within impermanence. |
