I'm not sure I really understand what you're asking (if you are asking a question or maybe just making an observation). My knowledge of Buddhism is mainly academic because I am not a practising Buddhist so it is hard for me to make value judgements about the Buddhist way of life. Buddhist psychology goes a long way to explaining the world we live in and it is in that sense (theoretical I guess) that I am interested in discussing,such as the important Buddhist doctrine, pattica samupadda, or the Buddhist theory of causality which explains all phenomena as conditioned. This teaching is considered to be the central teaching of Buddhism. It contains the truth about the nature of the individual and his destiny as discovered by the Buddha in the final stage of his enlightenment.
