Question

Kisa Gotami again goes from house to house after she speaks with the Buddha. What does she ask for, the second time around? Does she get it? Why not?

Answer 1

When she meets the Buddha, he asks her to get a handful of mustard seeds from a house where no one has lost a child, husband, parent or friend. She goes from one house to another, but could not get the mustard seeds as there was not a single house where no one has died in the family.
