Hi All,
Bo concludes after commenting on the half-baked SOM of the Orient and the woolly mess in its wake that: The Western MOQ will be a better "Buddhism"! Khoo: I would certainly like to see this if it were to be so: } What are we talking about here: An intellectual pattern better than another intellectual pattern ? A Dynamic aspect better than its Static aspect? A better route than another route to Reality? Is there a Western MOQ to begin with ? I do not remember Pirsig saying as such in either ZAMM or LILA ? In what way will it be better ? The way Muslims say Islam is better ? The way Christians says theirs is better ? Science says its better, because they seek the Truth, Nothing less nothing more. Is this what the Western MOQ is about ? Truth Seeking, Reality Seeking, Morally Speaking ? Evolution on to Better State, Or an Ultimate Reality, an Ultimate Good ? That is better than the other "Good"s? Always better, never lesser. I wonder. The Buddha after all did say" What I have taught you is like the leaves in my hand and what I have not taught you is like the leaves in the jungle" Perhaps Buddhism as a Metaphysics is indeed insufficient and a Western MOQ will make up the difference.
