[MD] A fly in the MOQ ointment

[John Carl]

Well Platt,

I think your contradiction  issue pivots upon a very small word switch in
your formulation:

If Zen is the key to understanding reality
>

The switch is from "the" to "a".  I mean if Zen is THE key, then we oughta
call it the MoZ, and focus upon that teaching heritage.

But since the MoQ is not just more Zen, but a uniquely American synthesis of
differing approaches to understanding reality, Zen one among many, we are
not caught in contradiction for picking and choosing is also a valid key to
reality.  A different way, but not a  "wrong" way.
