The Buddha also refused to get involved in speculations regarding the universe. He stated very clearly that the problem facing mankind is not in his past or in his future but in the immediate present. Knowledge about Eternalism or Nihilism can in no way help man to break the fetters which bind him to existence and which are the source of all his feelings of discontent which arise from his inability to completely satisfy his cravings.
---What Buddhists Believe, by K. Sri Dhammananda---
