How do the concepts of Buddhism reinforce the concept of panentheism?
Part I of II
Buddhism establishes the idea that the intolerance of suffering is so important an issue it must become a major focus in one’s journey through life.
Reinforcing panentheism?
Absolutely, for what better way to understand the significance of the need to eliminate suffering than to make the Causative Force so big, so omnipresent, there is nowhere to put the effects of suffering we generate other than within Her?

Panentheism assigns true omnipresence to the Causative Force.
If a Causative Force is all present, then everything that happens, happens within the Causative Force.
As such, the Causative Force may become aware and even empathize with what occurs within Her.
This is truly a dramatic perception.
No wonder Buddhists sense the significance of the need to eliminate suffering.
With the acceptance of a truly omnipresent Causative Force, suffering is something the Causative Force Herself experiences.
She feels the pain, loneliness, heartache, loss, frustration, humiliation, and depression suffering generates.
No wonder Buddhists sense the importance of this issue.
Some states of suffering are caused naturally.
