[MD] Catching up to Pirsig

[Andre Broersen]

My experience with ?emptiness? came as Louise lay dying...

Andre:
Impressive experience Joe...it made me reflect.

'Thus, Sariputra all things have the character of emptiness, they have no
beginning,no end,they are faultless and not faultless, they are perfect and
not imperfect. Therefore, O Sariputra, here in this emptiness there is no
form, no perception, no name, no concepts, no knowledge. No eye, no ear, no
nose, no tongue, no body no mind. No form, no sound, no smell, no taste, no
touch, no objects...When the impediments of consciousness are annihilated,
then he becomes free of all fear, is beyond the reach of change, enjoying
final Nirvana'. (An introduction to Zen Buddhism, Suzuki, p. 21).
