Greetings, Have you been reading of the two-truth debate between Tsongkhapa and Gorampa? Believe me, I have damaged some brain-cells (statically or conventionally speaking) in trying to follow the the various arguments, their associated consequences and refutations ; my mind shorted out (also conventionally speaking, I think...) more than once.

There are many sets of intellectual reality in existence an d we can perceive some to have more quality than others, but that we do so is, in part, the result of our history and current patterns of values." - Lila. > > Now, I have some questions for you: > > > Snip... > Moq_Discuss mailing list Listinfo, Unsubscribing etc. http://lists.moqtalk.org/listinfo.cgi/moq_discuss-moqtalk.org Archives: http://lists.moqtalk.org/pipermail/moq_discuss-moqtalk.org/ http://moq.org/md/archives.html
