Hi Marsha
Yes, in the context of us as MOQ critics of western culture who
often ask what we can learn from the east, I was asking
what the east can learn from the west for a change? Is that
a bad thing? You might think the answer is no, maybe you should
try answering the question rather than just chucking abuse and odd
suspicions at the questioner, it's a shame don't you think? Of course,
the second comment you quote is in the context of the problematic
comprehension of the west known as MOQ, I kind of take that as a
given round here, but happy to confirm that this criticism works, at the
least, both ways. My point is to find where east and west might meet,
but that that may require both to move.

Hi Marsha
A statement like "the eastern mystic may be happy to sit
meditating whilst the world
goes to hell." shows a depth of ignorance of an important half of the
MOQ's East/West synthesis.
Nagarjuna obliterates subject/object dualism in a manner that shouldn't
be missed. This leaves the air clean and fresh for a new world-view
experience. Many of the problems this list is having "defining things"
would melt away. The subject/object pov stays intact but can be seen as
a workable method in a conventional world not reality itself.
I think the word 'may' in my proposition may have passed you by.

Hi David,
And I'm sure the next sentence, "Here is perhaps where the west can ask if
the east needs to think again in more comprehensive way." was just as
innocent.
