Thoughts and Reflections On: Silence of the Buddha

              Buddha tried to find answers to many of life's questions, but remained silent towards all questions pertaining to when and how the world was created or to the idea of a creator. He viewed these types of questions as "low conversation".
He focused instead on Un-Creation, because it was pointless to waist time searching for answers to questions on the creation of the world when his main life goal was to escape this wold of suffering and reach nirvana.
