Ed,
Here I am responding to my own post, but I said I would. ;-)
Well, I had that one wrong. Of course this was not one of the questions Buddha
remained mute on.
By the way, those four questions, and the several variations on them within
each question, making fourteen questions in all, are referred to collectively
as: "the Avyakrita".
T.R.V. Murti has a good section about them in his book, THE CENTRAL PHILOSOPHY
OF BUDDHISM: A STUDY OF THE MADHYAMIKA SYSTEM (1955). All of his Chapter Two!:
"The Silence of the Buddha and the Beginnings of the Dialectic".
