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. 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, (10[1])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 moves mountains. These objects (10[2])fall upon thorns or rocky places in a parable that describes how the Word of God fails to reach people. For 10 points, what objects are scattered in the Parable of the Sower? ■END■
