Marsha: Change the term from 'conventional' to the term 'conditional', and see if that helps. Have you read the MoQ Textbook? I wasn't familiar with this MoQ ditty: 'The world is an illusion Brahman alone is real Brahman is the world' I am unfamiliar with RMP's use of 'Brahman'. Please explain how this relates to anything? > Andre: > Basically the MoQ consists of DQ/sq.

Marsha: They were/are as conditionally real, as "real as rocks and trees". If you want more than that, then I don't know.
