I think the question is clear so no further explanation is needed.

Question closed due to being primarily opinion-based and too subjective in nature. Please see "What types of questions should I avoid asking?" in the Help Center. – Lanka♦ Apr 3 '16 at 14:30

1this question falls under "Acinteyya" : en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acinteyya , – Ryan Apr 4 '16 at 0:28

@Lanka I think this question should be reopened. The Tibetan Buddhist answer to this is specific, and I believe the other schools of Buddhism are in agreement that there is no first cause, no first birth. – hellyale Apr 4 '16 at 4:51

@Hellyale. I will reopen the question as I see it has gained upvotes and that 3 users have submitted reopen-votes. I still think the question is lacking content and is too subjective in nature. Lets see what happens from here. – Lanka♦ Apr 4 '16 at 17:36
Do you think someone might have asked that question before?
According to Access to Insight, many of the suttas include the following quote,
At Savatthi. There the Blessed One said:
"From an inconstruable beginning comes transmigration. A beginning point is not evident, though beings hindered by ignorance and fettered by craving are transmigrating & wandering on.
In other words the "first" is not evident (or, I'd read that as, it's not evident that there is a first).
