Kisa Gotami was a young woman who lost her only son. Overwhelmed by grief, she took the lifeless body of her son to the Buddha and begged him to bring her son back to life. The Buddha, however, did not have the power to do so and asked her to bring him a mustard seed from a house where no one had ever died. Kisa Gotami then went from house to house asking for a mustard seed, but she could not find a single household where death had not occurred.



Kisa Gotami asks for a mustard seed from a house where no one has ever died. She believes that the Buddha can bring her son back to life with the help of this mustard seed.



No, Kisa Gotami does not get the mustard seed she was looking for. She goes from house to house, but she is not able to find a single house where no one has ever died. Eventually, she realizes that death is a natural part of life and that she must accept the loss of her son.



Kisa Gotami cannot get the mustard seed she was looking for because death is a universal experience. No one can escape death, and it is not possible to find a house where no one has ever died. The Buddha gave her this task to help her realize that death is a natural part of life and that she must accept it. Kisa Gotami's search for the mustard seed also shows that grief can make us blind to the reality of life and death, and that we must learn to accept the impermanence of all things.
