I’m sorry if I am asking repeated questions without reading everything in full.

I learn better through discussion rather than reading long paragraphs, and I don’t really have anyone nearby to discuss Dhamma with, I’m not in Sri Lanka and I don’t have access to monks or teachers here. Sometimes I feel a bit helpless, so I really appreciate this forum.

I am still reading about nava kamma and purāna kamma, but meanwhile a question came to my mind:

If everything is conditioned, even thoughts and wisdom, is there such a thing as free action?

If everything arises due to causes and conditions, how does choice or freedom work?

I’m not even sure if I am asking this correctly, but I am trying to understand.

Any simple explanation would be very helpful.

Theruwan Saranai 🙏
