“According to Buddhist thought, universality is a symbiotic order in
which humanity, nature, and the cosmos coexist, and microcosm and
macrocosm are fused in a single living entity. In Buddhism, the idea of
symbiosis is conveyed by the idea of ‘dependent origination.’ Whether in
human society or in the realm of nature, nothing exists in isolation;
all phenomena are mutually supportive and related, forming a living
cosmos. Once this is understood, then we can establish the proper role
of reason.”
