Buddha did not participate in these debates. Instead he dealt with the sufferings of life..He explained:
Suppose a man is hit by a poison arrow. A doctor is sent for immediately. But what happens if the man makes the doctor wait while he finds out " Who shot it?" " What kind of a bow was used?" " What is the arrow made of?" The wounded man would die before all these questions are answered. The important thing is to remove the arrow immediately.
The same is true of what is going on right now. No amount of abstract discussion will resolve the sufferings of life. What is mot important is to determine the cause of the suffering and to eliminate it. .
The truth of life is right here in our immediate surroundings, and is not to be found in meaningless theoretical discussions..
