You will get absolutely nowhere in the West talking about reincarnation or karma (blasphemy or New Age wool-gathering) OK? If you are going to offer Western Civilization some kind of alternative to our destructive materialistic monotheism, you better explain it in non-threatening terms. And, I think Pirsig decided to make a mass appeal because he anticipated the kind of reception he'd receive in the academic community. He came right out and said as much. It's there for us to see in Lila. Hi Mary, It seems that there are so many opinions of what Buddhism is, that I agree with Khoo, that it is meaningless to use it as a synonym. It may also be misleading in any kind of discussion. So, I've decided to call Quality, Rhubarb. That way people will know exactly what I am talking about.
