There are many, many very close parallels between Wittgenstein and Buddhist philosophy, since both are concerned with philosophy as a kind of recovery from the mind’s bewitchment by false problems. What we call the “Problem of Life”—with a capital P, capital L—the sense that to be human is to be in some sort of predicament, that to be alive and confronted with death, that to be in a world where pleasure is correlative to pain, constitutes some sort of great philosophical question. Now, in Oriental philosophy—Indian, Chinese, Japanese—there’s a very wide recognition that feeling that one has this problem is the problem, and that the one who is liberated is a person liberated from the torment of asking, not questions that are simply unanswerable, but that really have no meaning at all.
