Detailed explanation-1: -Passage – “Of those who, overcome by death, depart from life, a father cannot save his son, nor kinsmen their relations. Mark! while relatives are looking on and lamenting deeply, one by one mortals are carried off, like an ox that is led to the slaughter.
Detailed explanation-2: -According to Gautama Buddha, the world is affected by suffering, death, and decay. Therefore, the wise do not mourn, knowing the terms of the world. Nobody can get peace of mind by weeping or mourning. Rather his pain will increase and his body will suffer.
Detailed explanation-3: -According to Lord Buddha, the life of mortals is troubled because they have not made peace with the fact that the one who is born, must rest eternally. There is no way a living being can avoid facing death. Just like all earthen vessels break at some point, so do men.
Detailed explanation-4: -He who seeks peace should draw out the arrow of lamentation, and complaint, and grief. He who has drawn out the arrow and has become composed will obtain peace of mind; he who has overcome all sorrow will become free from sorrow, and be blessed.”
