I found some gaps in Buddhism.
The Buddha refused to answer two questions:
- Where the very first cause of karma comes from.
- Whether nirvana is eternal.
He said the first question is not useful for practice,
and the second one is beyond human understanding of beginning and end - like a singularity outside time.
Because of this, it doesn’t really work to say that nirvana is the beginning of samsara.
It’s unclear how a perfectly enlightened being, who has reached nirvana, could suddenly produce initial karma that starts samsara (the wheel of rebirth).
Also, the word “eternal” feels strange.
“Forever” doesn’t really exist - never forever, keep the beat.
