Sorry everyone my atrocious typing & edition skills presented the Textbook quote incorrectly.
Dave, I've offered quotes on Buddhism from the MoQ Textbook. Maybe you think Anthony is confused and nihilistic? In the MoQ Textbook Anthony writes that the fundamental nature of the static is the Dynamic: "Moreover, Nagarjuna (1966, p.251) shares Pirsig’s perception that the indeterminate (or Dynamic) is the fundamental nature of the conditioned (or static)." - It is the Prajnaparamita Heart Sutra that states: "form is emptiness; emptiness is form" or as I consider it: sq is DQ, DQ is sq. Western Philosophy can be every bit as convoluted and nihilistic as Eastern Philosophy. I've read that if you read Kant as he wrote it in German, you'd find many contradictions. Consider 'Thus Spake Zarathustra'. And what did Wittgenstein write: "My propositions are elucidatory in this way: he who understands me finally recognizes them as senseless, when he has climbed out through them, on them, over them. (He must so to speak throw away the ladder, after he has climbed up on it.)" So please do not make any apology for Buddhism. Exploring the MoQ together with Buddhism is very valid.
