Our basic situation demands that we live together, and, hence, we work together. It is a natural law but sometimes we act in quite the contrary manner. According to Buddhism, plants have no mind or consciousness. As a Buddhist monk, I say they have no consciousness, but I don't know, it's difficult to tell. I think we need to investigate further.
Some people say that plants have some kind of feeling or cognitive power.
Even without consciousness or mind, their very existence is based on the cooperation of each particle and cell. Each particle has a special duty or role and all the particles work together to allow the plant to survive and develop. Similarly, the function and existence of the world, the planet itself, even the universe, depend on cooperation. Different parts of the human body work together, allowing us to function effectively. Our existence and survival depend on the cooperation and coordination of these parts.
