Many societies operate on the assumption people have free will/choice over their behaviours, but, if one could view the universe on a large enough scale, both Einstein, some biologists, and Buddhism say the system overall is deterministic, meaning, though complex, people are actually natural automata/machines.

#Buddhism and #QuantumPhysics both challenge classical views of independent, permanent entities. #Buddhist notions like #DependentOrigination and #emptiness hold that phenomena lack inherent essence and exist only relationally. #QM shows #reality as probabilistic & context-dependent, w properties emerging through interaction. Though methodologically distinct, both unsettle substance-based #ontologies and stress the relational nature of existence.

#Buddhism reframes the "#HardProblem" of #consciousness by rejecting the mind-matter dichotomy. Rather than treating consciousness as an emergent property or separate substance, #Buddhist #philosophy analyzes it as a contingent process (#viññāṇa) arising through #DependentOrigination. This relational view dissolves the explanatory gap while offering #meditative practices for direct investigation of #awareness's #impermanent, #NonSelf nature.

#Buddhist #cosmology adapts and critiques #Indian models, emphasizing #impermanence (#anicca), non-self (#anatta), and #DependentOrigination. Unlike #Hindu cosmology, it rejects creator gods and views cosmic realms as conditioned, not ultimate. Liberation, #nirvāna, lies beyond cosmological cycles. Here is a brief overview:

#Zen #Buddhism's concept of #tathatā or #suchness expresses reality as it is — free from conceptual overlay. Interwoven with #emptiness (#śūnyatā), #DependentOrigination, and #interpenetration, suchness is not transcendence but direct, embodied encounter. This non-dual insight is central to #Mahāyāna thought.

#Nāgārjuna, founder of the #Madhyamaka school, clarified the Buddhist doctrine of #emptiness (#śūnyatā) as the absence of intrinsic essence in all phenomena. His dialectical method deconstructs fixed views, reinforcing #DependentOrigination and non-self (#anatta) as central to liberation in #Mahayana thought.

#DependentOrigination (paṭicca-samuppāda) is a central Buddhist doctrine describing how all phenomena arise and cease due to interdependent causes and conditions. Through the twelve links (#nidanas), it explains the emergence of suffering (#dukkha) and the path (#magga) to its cessation, emphasizing impermanence (#anicca) and the absence of a permanent self (#anatta):
