Buddhist Psychology - Free Will and the Human Machine

Strong will is essential to Buddhism, otherwise we are at the
mercy of the machine part of being human: the judgments,
feelings, attachments and habits. Original Buddhism seems to have
taught the suppression of feelings, but today we rightly do not
see this as healthy. Rather, we should satisfy our needs smartly
and thereby create degrees of freedom for ourselves so that we
suffer as little as possible from the machine aspect of our
humanity.
