There were some questions to which the Buddha remained silent. One of them was "Where does a person go when he dies?" His answer (silence) communicated that the question was wrongly asked. What is this "life" you imagine to exist? And what is this "death"? That which does not come into existence experiences neither life nor death. Things exist neither with inherent existence nor without inherent existence. You continue to dispute with me because you don't understand.
Q: You continue telling us we don't understand, without giving a reasoned argument!
A: My arguments may not seem reasonable to you personally, though I will explain myself further for the benefit of your companions.
I only speak the truth. You want me to tell you what Reality is, but Truth cannot be heard by those without ears to hear. You don't understand because you refuse to let go of your finite common-sense and open yourself up to learning. You are like fish that cannot comprehend life on dry land, or insects of the summer that know nothing beyond their own season.
You people refuse to see what is directly in front of your own eyes. You are like someone who refuses to get out of bed in the morning, preferring his confused dreams to the glory of the day.
