I have heard there are 4 unthinkable (acinteyya) concepts in Buddhism. Not Acintya .
The four imponderables are identified in the Acintita Sutta, Anguttara Nikaya 4.77, as follows:
>
> - The Buddha-range of the Buddhas [i.e., the range of powers a Buddha
> develops as a result of becoming a Buddha];
> - The jhana-range of one absorbed in jhana [i.e., the range of powers that one may obtain while absorbed in jhana];
> - The [precise working out of the] results of kamma;
> - Speculation about [the origin, etc., of] the cosmos is an imponderable that is not to be speculated about.
Why It says Unthinkable?
