synopsis
Reader of the sutras: Sw Ananda Teertha.
The sutra
There was a man of Wei, Tung-Men Wu, who did not grieve when his son died.
His wife said to him:
"No one in the world loved his son as much as you did, why do you not grieve now he is dead?"
He answered:
"I had no son, and when I had no son I did not grieve. Now that he is dead it is the same as it was before, when I had no son. Why should I grieve over him?"
