[MD] Re Proposed solution to SOL/Intellectual level

[Khoo Hock Aun]

Hi All,


Bo concludes after commenting on the half-baked SOM of the Orient and the
woolly mess in its wake that:

The Western MOQ will be a better "Buddhism"!

Khoo:
I would certainly like to see this if it were to be so: }

What are we talking about here:
An intellectual pattern better than another intellectual pattern ?
A Dynamic aspect better than its Static aspect?
A better route than another route to Reality?

Is there a Western MOQ to begin with ?
I do not remember Pirsig saying as such
in either ZAMM or LILA ?

In what way will it be better ?
The way Muslims say Islam is better ?
The way Christians says theirs is better ?
Science says its better, because they seek the Truth,
Nothing less nothing more.

Is this what the Western MOQ is about ?
Truth Seeking, Reality Seeking, Morally Speaking ?
Evolution on to Better State,
Or an Ultimate Reality, an Ultimate Good ?
That is better than the other "Good"s?
Always better, never lesser.

I wonder.

The Buddha after all did say" What I have taught you is like the leaves in
my hand
and what I have not taught you is like the leaves in the jungle"

Perhaps Buddhism as a Metaphysics is indeed insufficient
and a Western MOQ will make up the difference.

Best Regards
