I know it's hard to understand, but Buddhists do not
believe in a Creator God or Supreme Being. That doesn't
mean, automatically, that we exist in chaos. Chaos is a
big
leap, intellectually, that simply doesn't apply.

If you've ever read Carl Jungs stuff, then you'll understand
what I'm about to say: WE create the world. We create it
through karma (individual conscious and unconscious
thoughts/actions).
As Jung would say: "Matter and Mind are two different
expressions
of the same thing".

By the way, millions of people the world over, believe this,
too.

Hugs,
Adele
