Marsha to Ron:
Explanations are conventional, and Nagarjuna must use conventional
language and relative truths to teach and point the way to the ultimate
goal, nirvana. In the same way RMP uses convention static patterns to
point the way to Dynamic Quality, the moon. Imho.
Andre:
I beg to differ with this one, eventhough the 'Imho' is a way out of
course for Lucy. What she is asserting is that RMP developed his MoQ
'...to point the way to Dynamic Quality, the moon'. I think he developed
the MoQ NOT as a set of meditative injunctions (which is what it would
boil down to then) but to improve the world a little bit. Otherwise
forget about metaphysics.(LILA)
This means recognizing we live in a conventional world 'conditioned'
through static manifestations and creations, the 'ground' of which is
recognized to be DQ. If the MoQ were merely a way to point to the moon
through its static patterns he would not have said what he did on the
cover of Hagan's 'Buddhism Plain and Simple': 'If you're looking for
enlightenment rather than just scholarly knowledge, you'd better read this'.
The MoQ can be seen as the need for an expansion of scholarly knowledge.
Not only what has existed and needing to be re drafted but the creation
of high value intellectual knowledge with which to guide and improve the
world a little bit AS WELL AS continually working on your bicycle.
This also means taking responsibility for the views one expresses. Views
(the MoQ shows us) that ought to go beyond the mere 'personal'
experiences of the individual.
This warped one-sided perspective (Lucy takes) is typical of the
confused state she desperately seeks to justify. She even uses Nagarjuna
to defend her plot.
