SA: I would say if the Diamond Sutra didn't say
something that we knew, as Pirsig states, "Everybody
knows what Quality is." then nobody would accept it,
in this deeper knowing that something like the Diamond
Sutra and Moq is trying to convey. On these 'deeper'
understandings, those of the metaphysical and living
of reality understandings, such books and discussions
are to be affirmations I would say. That's what were
looking for, affirmations. If we don't on these
'deeper' understandings that we find we each live and
know, then that's when the arguments become so serious
for the contrasting views seem to go against who we
are and what we know deep down. Wouldn't you say?
affirmations,
SA
