Piyajātikasutta

Suttapiṭaka · Majjhimanikāya · Vol. 13 · Section 535

[535] Thus have I heard. On one occasion the Blessed One was dwelling at Sāvatthī, in Jeta's Grove, Anāthapiṇḍika's monastery. Now on that occasion the dear and beloved only son of a certain householder had died. Because of his death, work no longer appealed to him, nor did food appeal to him. He would go again and again to the charnel ground and wail: "Where are you, my only son? Where are you, my only son?" Then that householder approached the Blessed One; having approached and paid homage to the Blessed One, he sat down to one side.
