Question 1: The “Parable of the Mustard Seed” is a story about a widowed woman who then loses her only son that passes away. It is at this point in the story the widow is so distraught that she seeks out aid from anyone who can bring her son back from the grave thinking it merely some illness that can be cured through the use of medicine. During her search she comes across Buddha who instructs her on an impossible task as the solution to bringing her son back to life. It is during this wild goose chase that the widow becomes aware of all the suffering that exists not only in her life but the lives around her which ultimately sets her onto the path of enlightenment
