Unanswerable Questions Of Nichiren Buddhism a devotee, Had some metaphysical queries, Regarding these she inquired of me, Whether I had any relevant theories. I replied I could not help her, For these could not be directly investigated, So to venture opinions I must demur, As no cogent answers can be demonstrated. For we are operating within different paradigms, Hers of beliefs, dogma, concepts and ideas, Mine of investigation, showed in these rhymes, Revealing the Absolute, in which all appears. For when this moment undergoes examination, To each of us it is a direct experience, Consisting of thoughts, images and sensation, And Awareness by which these we reference. The former are an ephemeral flow, The latter the constant subjective presence, A stream of objects which come and go, In Consciousness our fundamental essence. Awareness is That when unmoving – at rest, All ‘things’ are energy thus in vibration, Movements in this selfsame Consciousness, The Absolute containing all manifestation. Whereas, questions about reincarnation, And karma, inferring individuation, Are metaphysical speculation, Unanswerable by direct investigation.
