    Question #94023. tragic_flawed asks:

    What are the 14 questions the Buddha (Gautama Siddartha) refused to answer?


    BRY2K

    		Here they are:

    (concerning the existence of the world in time)

    Is the world eternal?
    or not?
    or both?
    or neither?

    (referring to the world: concerning the existence of the world in space)

    Is the world finite?
    or not?
    or both?
    or neither?

    (referring to what is beyond the world)

    Does the Tathagata exist after death?
    or not?
    or both?
    or neither?

    (referring to personal experience)

    Is the self identical with the body?
    or is it different from the body?

    The Buddha remained silent when asked these fourteen questions. He described them as a net and refused to be drawn into such a net of theories, speculations, and dogmas.
