Buddha announced in every city wherever he came:
- Please don't ask eleven questions. These questions include all the most important concepts: God, soul, death, life, truth, etc.
When asked: “Why?”, he answered:
- Because they cannot be answered. It is not that I do not know the answers to them, but firstly, it is impossible to express in words, secondly, knowing these things does not contribute to the holiness of life and does not lead to enlightenment, and thirdly, these questions create beliefs that prevent you from perceiving True reality. Ask about anger and how to move beyond it. Ask about greed, about attachment, about transformation. Ask about how to drop the mind and achieve a state of meditation.
