RICK:
You write this as if you believe that they would be persuaded by concrete
reasons and definitions.... I promise you they won't. Your best shot is to
get them to read the book. My own experience teaches me that trying to
explain the MoQ to someone who hasn't read LILA is always doomed to failure.
Attempts to do this usually wind up reducing RMP's ideas to the intellectual
sideshow that he tries so hard to avoid.
This is excellent advice that would pay well to heed.
the question,"does a dog have morality?" is the same as "does a dog have
Buddha nature?"
the master would retort with "MU" here. Mu is usually translated as no in
this context but another more accurate translation would be to "unask the
question!"
the masters reply mu, as in no, causes this stuckness that Pirsig refers
to, becauseit is taught that everything has buddha nature ! (quality)
this would of course be of little use to anyone not familiar with either;
mu,lila or zmm.
As long as you are regarded as "nuts" in this area, you at least know that
you are on the right track ! (ironic huh !) : )
