Buddha's World - Karma is not about fatalism in Buddhism: Jul 22, 12:58pm 2 reviews buddhism, philosophy
http://www.katinkahesselink.net/tibet/karma_thanisaro.html; "Indian schools believed that karma operated in a straight line, with actions from the past influencing the present, and present actions influencing the future. As a result, they saw little room for free will. Buddhists, however, saw that karma acts in feedback loops, with the present moment being shaped both by past and by present actions; present actions shape not only the future but also the present. This constant opening for present input into the causal process makes free will possible. This freedom is symbolised in the imagery the Buddhists used to explain the process: flowing water. Sometimes the flow from the past is so strong that little can be done except to stand fast, but there are also times when the flow is gentle enough to be diverted in almost any direction. So, instead of promoting resigned powerlessness, the early Buddhist notion of karma focused on the liberating potential of what the mind is doing with every moment."

Chan Masters: Seng-Tsan: Jun 24, 8:53pm 3 reviews buddhism
http://www.selfdiscoveryportal.com/cmSengTsan.htm; "To live in the Great Way is neither easy nor difficult, but those with limited views are fearful and irresolute; the faster they hurry, the slower they go, and clinging cannot be limited; even to be attached to the idea of enlightenment is to go astray. Just let things be in their own way, and there will be neither coming nor going."
