Relatively there can be free will but ultimately the concept does not hold water (which ones do?). Relatively we choose from a predetermined set of variables (what is known) from the infinite unknown. How in any radical sense can that be freedom? From the Buddha’s perspective, everything that temporally existed arose conditionally in dependence. How can there be freedom when there is conditional dependence? It seems Alan is talking ideally about relative existence. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups ""Minds Eye"" group.
