Dharmic Darwinism | August 30, 2014
The Buddha intuited some type of
evolutionary process that creates our bodies, and his essential point is
that they are neither formed nor owned by us. We now have evidence that
our bodies arise from the forces and elements that make up the entire
universe, through a complex chain of interdependent events.
Internalizing this understanding can help liberate us from the powerful
sense of ownership and attachment we have to the body.
-Wes Nisker, “Evolution’s Body”
