Mourning by disciples from "summary" of The Epic of the Buddha by Chittadhar Hrdaya
When the disciples gathered around the Buddha, their minds were heavy with sorrow. They felt a deep sense of loss, as though a great light had been extinguished from their lives. The air was filled with the echoes of their lamentations, as they mourned the passing of their beloved teacher. Each disciple mourned in their own way, expressing their grief in words and actions that spoke of their profound sorrow. Some wept openly, their tears flowing freely as they grieved for the one who had guided them on the path to enlightenment. Others sat in silence, their hearts heavy with the weight of their loss. Despite their sorrow, the disciples found solace in each other's company. They drew strength from their shared experience of mourning, finding comfort in the knowledge that they were not alone in their grief. Together, they stood as a community united by their love for the Buddha and their commitment to carrying on his teachings. As they mourned, the disciples reflected on the lessons they had learned from the Buddha. They recalled his words of wisdom, his compassionate guidance, and his unwavering presence in their lives. In their mourning, they found a renewed sense of purpose, a determination to honor the Buddha's memory by living out his teachings in their daily lives. Through their shared mourning, the disciples forged a bond that transcended their individual grief. They became not just fellow followers of the Buddha, but a community bound together by their love for their teacher and their commitment to upholding his legacy. And as they mourned together, they found the strength to carry on, drawing inspiration from the teachings of the Buddha and the support of their fellow disciples.
