“The complexities of cause and effect defy analysis.”

“if the selflessness of phenomena is analyzed and if this analysis is cultivated, it causes the effect of attaining nirvana. through no other cause does one come to peace.”

“There are hundreds of possible causes for every effect, and a hundred possible effects for every cause.”

“One way to explain the complexity and unpredictability of historical systems, despite their ultimate determinacy, is to note that long chains of causation may separate final effects from ultimate causes lying outside the domain of that field of science.”

“Fortunately analysis is not the only way to resolve inner conflicts. Life itself still remains a very effective therapist. ”

“There is a new science of complexity which says that the link between cause and effect is increasingly difficult to trace; that change (planned or otherwise) unfolds in non-linear ways; that paradoxes and contradictions abound; and that creative solutions arise out of diversity, uncertainty and chaos.”
