    I think this sums up the topic of free will pretty concisely...

    The choices we make aren't chosen.

    ...don't you?

    hmmm...

    no free will [ 1 ] vs free will [ 0 ]

    it was chosen for us to live in this way.

    otherwise why is it that even with same sand I can play in my box and someone has to play in on a beach?

    This is a very special treat for Luke, hehehe~

    碧巖錄

    [第095則]喫茶去
    〈垂示〉垂示云。有佛處不得住。住著頭角生。無佛處急走過。不走過。草深一丈。直饒淨裸裸赤灑灑。事外無機機外無事。未免守株待免。且道總不恁麽。作麽生行履。試擧看。
    〈本則〉擧。長慶有時云。寧說阿羅漢有三毒。不說如來有二種語。不道如來無語。只是無二種語。保福云。作麽生是如來語。慶云。聾人爭得聞。保福云。情知爾向第二頭道。慶云。作麽生是如來語。保福云。喫茶去。
    〈頌〉頭兮第一第二。臥龍不鑒止水。無處有月波澄。有處無風浪起。稜禪客稜禪客。三月禹門遭點額。

    I cried when I was learning this, From this day on I knew my perception was a lie and there is no free will /choice.

    kudos for everyone~
