According
to
the
Buddhas
concept
of
conditioned genesis (what Thich Nhat Hanh
calls interbeing), nothing exists as a
separate individual;
everything exists in
relation to others, interdependently.
As a result, the Buddhas position on the
problem of free will and determinism would
seem to be that of compatibilism.
