On pg 439 teal is written, "'Dharma' is Quality itself, the principle of
'rightness' which gives structure and purpose to the evolution of all life
and
to the evolving understanding of the universe WHICH LIFE HAS CREATED. ...
within modern Buddhist thought dharma becomes the phenomenal world - the
object
of perception, thought, or understanding."
Ken writes:
If this passage is read as meaning that LIFE HAS CREATED THE EVOLVING
UNDERSTANDING OF THE UNIVERSE, rather than Life has created the universe
the problem will clear up. If we read it as meaning that life has created
the universe It throws the whole moq into a cocked hat. Just a bit of fuzzy
writing. Instances like this are why I would like for us to go through the
book, or books, and try to settle among ourselves what Pirsig's meaning is.
This paragraph alone can, or has, created irreconcilable factions in the
squad. Ken
