[MD] A Lila quote, part one.

[Jan-Anders]

Marsha and all:

I know why

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8Evt_PFy-Pw

Why do robins sing in December,
Long before the springtime is due?
And even though it's snowing,
Violets are growing,
I know why and so do you.
Why do breezes sigh ev'ry evening,
Whispering your name as they do?
And why have I the feeling
Stars are on my ceiling?
I know why and so do you.
When you smile at me,
I hear gypsy violins;
When you dance with me,
I'm in heaven when the music begins.
I can see the sun when it's raining,
Hiding ev'ry cloud from my view;
And why do I see patterns
When you're in my arms?
I know why and so do you.

There is a better version recorded on 78 rpm with another singer but I 
can't find the record at the moment..

> with myself so I'll share it here with you:
> 'The Dynamic Quality viewpoint of the MoQ corresponds to the notion of
> sunyata or nothingness ( 'Empty' in the sense of lacking inherent existence
> i.e the indeterminate or the world of the Buddhas; literally, the realm of
> understanding or wakefulness...) as understood by Nagarjuna...while the
> static viewpoint (sammuti-sacca) [The 'conditioned' is everything dependent
> {or caused} by sunyata {which is unconditioned}] of the MoQ corresponds to
> sunyavada (i.e. the conditioned component or world of maya ( Literally
> 'illusion' but only in the sense that it is illusory to believe that people
> and the objects of their world are permanent, independent and unchanging).
>
> Sunyavada describes all the conceptions of reality including metaphysical
> views, ideals, religious beliefs, hopes and ambitions (Real in the sense of
> being useful conceptualisations but illusory in the sense of having
> independent or absolute existence)'.
>
> Pirsig employs Buddhist and Taoist philosophy but rejects the more esoteric
> practices of these traditions... . (McWatt, A, A Critical Analysis...pp
> 42-3)

> Hope this helps... it is helping me anyway.
