View Full Version : Metaphysics...
The Buddha never discussed Metaphysics, though he would debate people from any tradition or religion... Wondering what this means to you?

Seems ie11 retracted his or her answer.
My guess is Buddha didnt bother with it, because it wouldnt really matter to him as a person. Focussing on good thoughts, karma and harmony, is basicly what his teachings were about. Being good and just to the world and others, and thereby living a good life and having good things come to you.
This was enough to him, he didnt try to solve the mysteries of the universe, although he probably happened upon quite a few of them. He focusing on the inner wellbeing more than everything else. Why worry about the whole world when you can help those around you, or enjoy their company?
I really havent studied Buddha much, but this is my take on it. He seems to deserve some studying though and surely have had a great impact on the worlds history.

Also, it seems metaphysics makes questions, and why ask questions when you can give answers?
Philosophofi or whatever its called still has some uses I think, as the questions and answers they find, might actually lead to new discoveries and ways to do things. It is a constant search for new ways of thinking. Maybe Buddha found the way of thinking? Could be, but if there was only one way it would be a rather dull and boring world we live in.
