Watched over CCTV10 the China Solar Eclipse today.
While it was very amazing, I believe that the impact must be very great for those in the affected parts of China.
As it is, I had those "wow" moments when i saw on screen the different stages of the eclipse.
And that got me thinking about the sun, the moon and earth, about our existence....
How and why do we exist? Scientists are still asking those questions, even though we now already understand about birth and death, about energy, etc....
and i had a moment of realisation, and understood why the Buddha did not answer questions about existence.
It simply isnt important at all.
so what even if we found the answer to how the universe came about. what does it really change? we would only have a better understanding, but life still goes on. it wont change our mindset. wont change our daily activities, wont change the fact that we will still die. So???
do we really need to know? isnt it much better to simply live in the present and not worry nor wonder about our existence. it is a fact that we do exist!
