Abstract

Exposure to kamma and chaos theory is followed by an attempt to identify similarities between them such as: continuous causality (interdependent coexistence present in open systems) - a common factor in chaos theory and Buddhism (explains Buddhist rebirth); Buddhist proximate paths or actions that yield very different effects and chaos theory proximate initial conditions giving very different results; Buddhist 31 abodes of beings at various levels and chaos theory attractors; the middle path in Buddhism and in chaos theory the edge of chaos being the most desirable resting level.
