Question

Vasubandhu explained karma and rebirth using a metaphor in which these objects accumulate in a storehouse-consciousness. The Prophets Sūrah teaches that even deeds with the weight of one of these objects will be brought forward for justice on the Day of Resurrection. (-5[1])Kisā Gotamī sought one of these objects from a household never visited by death, hoping that the Buddha could revive her dead son. A parable named for these objects discusses a (*) tree with birds nesting in its branches, likening the Kingdom of Heaven to these objects. In Matthew 17:20 (“chapter 17, verse 20”), Jesus taught that faith as small as these objects (10[1])moves mountains. These objects fall upon thorns or rocky places in a parable that describes (10[1])how the Word of God fails to reach people. For 10 points, what objects are scattered in the Parable of the Sower? ■END■ (10[1])
