Prehistoric Beings in the Realm of Karma: The Confluence of Paleontology and Buddhism
Year: 2025
Type: article
Abstract: This article investigates the intersection of paleontology and Buddhist thought by examining prehistoric beings such as dinosaurs and ancient mammals within the framework of karma and spiritual evolution. It explores how fossilized lifeforms can be interpreted not merely as biological remnants but as karmic imprints, suggesting that ancient creatures were part of an ongoing spiritual process. Drawing from both geological evidence and Buddhist cosmology, the essay proposes a holistic view that integrates material existence with moral causality and the possibility of spiritual progression across lifetimes.
