The Causal Connection Between Phenomena

Buddhists appeal basically to a theory of causality, of causal connection between phenomena. What they want to say is that you and I are basically a collection of mental and physical events in a constant state of flux. It's the causal connection between those events that gives the appearance when we experience things of a certain kind of unity. When we think of ourselves and others, we don't see these, this flux, this pattern of mental andphysical events. We see people kind of solid and constant, but that's not really what it's like as it were.
