Evolution is not explicitly mentioned in the Tipitaka.[1] As no major principles ofBuddhism contradict it, many Buddhists tacitly accept the theory of evolution.[2][3]Questions about the eternity or infinity of the universe at large are counted among the 14 unanswerable questions which the Buddha maintained were counterproductive areas of speculation.[4] As such, many Buddhists do not think about these kinds of questions as meaningful for the Buddhist goal of relieving oneself and others from suffering.[5] One does not need to know the origin of life in order to achieve enlightenment.[non-primary source needed]
