"what are pointless issues?
...
whether the world is permanent or impermanent, or both, or neither;
...
whether oneself and sentient beings exist or not, whether they both do and do not exist, whether they neither do nor do not exist;
...
what the very beginning of birth and death is, what the very end of birth and death will be-"
