Thank you, Joanna.
I personally do not see much difference between 'the course of Nature' and 
'the evolving process of Nature' and it is for this reason that I randomly 
quoted Yang Guorong to clarify to you what I was talking about.
My request to the list still stands: that I would appreciate 
definitions/understandings/synonyms of  'the course of Nature', particularly 
as used in Buddhism, if at all.
