Genesis in Buddhism is called interbeing. The birth, growth, and decline of things depend upon multiple causes and conditions and not just a single one. The presence of one thing (dharma) implies the presence of all other things. The enlightened man or woman sees each thing not as a separate entity but as a complete manifestation of reality. The twelfth-century Vietnamese Zen monk, Dao Hanh, said, "If one thing exists, everything exists, even a speck of dust. If one thing is empty, everything is empty, even the whole universe."
---Thich Nhat Hanh---
