Summary

King Suddhodana, the father of the Buddha, falls gravely ill and longs to see his son one last time. Hearing of his father's condition, the Buddha, along with Nanda, Ananda, and Rahula, uses his divine powers to travel to the king. The king expresses his joy at seeing his son before passing away peacefully. The Buddha then oversees the funeral rites, demonstrating filial piety and teaching the impermanence of life to the grieving crowd. (AI generated)
