Part 6/10:
In Buddhism, the universe is not the product of a divine being. Rather, it is understood to exist in a continual cycle of birth, existence, and destruction, known as samsara. This cyclical nature posits that the universe has no definitive beginning or end—an idea that differs from the concept of creation found in other religious traditions.
Interdependent Origination
Buddhism teaches the principle of dependent origination, suggesting that everything arises due to specific causes and conditions. Thus, there is no divine plan orchestrating reality; instead, natural laws govern existence. The absence of a creator means that life’s occurrences follow routines influenced by interrelated events and actions.
