Why do you think Kisa Gotami understood this only the second time? In what way did the Buddha change her understanding?
Earlier, only her pain was seen by her.For the second time, she went from door to door, it was understood by her that everyone was dealing with the loss of a beloved one. There was no house in the town where death had not taken any family member of the house. At some point or other, everyone have experienced the death of their loved ones.She was helped by Buddha to understand all this, as he told her to bring mustard seeds from a house full of quantity where death had never knocked at the door. In this way she understood that death is common for all human beings.
