To the Buddhists, Free Will is a freedom inside the limits of Necessity, namely the necessity of retribution based on the Law of Causality. This is Hinduism.

It is the freedom to move within the boundaries of causation, a freedom inside the prison of Dependent Origination. One has to wonder if the author has ever heard of the Buddha's teaching of paticcanirodha.

Life itself is a constant movement towards an issue in final deliverance. It is an evolution of our moral progress. When all good deeds have brought their fruition as in the Law of Karma, final deliverance will be attained in Nirvana. This is Hinduism.

The absolute is reached, causation than become extinct and Free Will, will become an inconsequential factor in one’s life. The Buddha did not teach that "causation becomes extinct". This is nonsense.

Acting without the influence of ignorance and paticcasamuppada is precisely "Free Will"; the "will" is freed from these influences.

Fortunately, our consciousness can partake in both the present and future if given the opportunity, and can free us from the burden of the past which are subjected to the law of cause and effect and the necessity of retribution. This is Hinduism.
