Late Buddhist theology understands all phenomenal being as causally dependent, meaning that all beings are conditioned by something else, making their existences relative to these conditions. Nowhere can anything substantial or permanent be found. Subjectivity is also devoid of persisting psychic entities. They are not random. They change incessantly and are impermanent, unsatisfactory and without ego or Self.
Enlightenment takes place in time but is also always already there outside time.
Buddhism has a predilection for ethical questions. But its ethics is not inferred from an eternalized ontological scheme, for being is viewed as a totality of impermanent aggregates . An impartial judgement can not be reached without knowing both sides. Hence, evil must be understood and tested together with good. The intent initiating an act determines whether it is good or evil.
