Marsha:
It is my opinion that Quality, or DQ, corresponds to Buddhism's Sunyata, or
Emptiness, and that relationship has been established in Anthony's PhD and the
MoQ Textbook:
"The Dynamic Quality viewpoint of the MOQ corresponds to the notion of sunyata
or nothingness as understood by Nagarjuna (a Mahayana Buddhist philosopher)
while the static quality viewpoint (sammuti-sacca) of the MOQ corresponds to
sunyavada (i.e. the conditioned component or world of maya)."
(McWatt, Anthony, 'A Critical Analysis of Robert Pirsig’s Metaphysics of
Quality')
So I find it worth considering what the Buddhist's have to say about Emptiness,
and what this particular presentation says about the importance of realizing
Emptiness, or Dynamic Quality. I find it a very thoughtful presentation.
