Do teachers dislike questions because they fear being unable to answer?

I am not afraid of questions or being unable to answer. I worry more when no one asks. Raising what is unclear shows what needs discussion and lets us face what we did not previously know together.

In my religious experience, unfamiliar questions sometimes bring guidance from deities and Buddhas that I can then explain. I have felt this in teaching and helping with questions. But being a teacher does not forbid questions, nor mean I necessarily know everything.

I also need to keep learning myself. I read and explore different subjects. I cannot claim strength in every field, but am willing to understand more. Someone bringing a question also offers us a chance to keep learning and thinking.

A listener shared a thesis they wrote for our reference and discussion, which I appreciated. Alongside religion, I read other books and hear different understandings, then consider what makes sense. Different wording alone does not make discussion impossible.

Topics already covered may therefore be discussed again. Understanding and experience can change at different stages, and a new question can help clarify something previously unexplained. Listeners can compare and think too. Many recorded episodes do not mean every question is resolved.

Willingness to answer includes admitting ignorance. The unseen world is vast; we remain human and have not visited everywhere. Some views seem reasonable from our experience but cannot be declared true for everyone worldwide. I first acknowledge what I do not know and reflect further. Several experiences provide more concrete material for discussion.

I often encourage openness to teaching, which is different from banning questions. Practice is hard when no one can be asked or no explanation is given. Expressing doubts lets us think together about what remains unclear.

Sometimes my experience offers an initial direction. If I cannot think of one, divination can help explore the present situation. Inviting conversation means willingness to face matters together, not a guarantee that I already possess every answer.
