Abstract: (Show)

Thānissaro Bhikkhu, a Western monk trained in the Thai Buddhist tradition, explores non-linear causality and the assertion that Buddhist enlightenment is uncaused. He introduces Poincaré's discovery of resonance points or indeterminate points (where the equation results in dividing by zero) within a complex system of equations and makes an analogy to the Buddhist path.
