Buddha’s life and teaching means everyday stop
Everyday we say “I.” “I think this, I want this, I like this.” Even when it's for others, we say “I.” “I just want you to be happy!" What kind of “I” is that?
Speculative thinking will not end suffering
Is there a god or a creator? Is Buddhism a religion or is it just practicing Buddha’s teaching?
Buddha was asked things like, "why did the universe appear?" "Is there some being that made the universe?" Things like that. "Does the Tathagata still live after the body dies?"
Then he kept silence.
