Abstract
Heated online communication reveals global challenges in the digital age, often fuelled by collective outrage. This article investigates how Buddhist network perspectives, paralleling digital reality, can inform mental health. Avatamsaka philosophy provides practical ways to navigate web complexities, suggesting that individual actions ripple across society. Recognising our interdependence and the impermanence of social responses deepens understanding of communication's broader impact and dynamic interconnected worldviews. These perspectives support relational balance and cognitive flexibility, essential for alleviating online distress and conflicts, including acceptance of present circumstances and fostering motivation for positive change. Valuing connectedness while respecting individuality helps cultivate resilience, enriching therapeutic practices.
