Hi Ant, Sorry, but other than RMP's book recommendation, the quotes (pp. 30 - 31) came directly from Hagen's book which I have read many times. With my interest in Buddhism and such an important comparison suggested by RMP, I have found Steve Hagen's insights very meaningful, and sometimes I just cannot imagine stating something better than him. If you used a portion of the same quote in the MoQ Textbook, that can only reinforce its value. But you know me, when I have something put together in a form I am comfortable with I will present it, often repeatedly. Until then,
Best wishes, Marsha p.s. Have you got anything original to offer?
