This replaces my last post where there are obvious mistakes in my quote

Marsha:
Here's another interesting quote from the MoQ Textbook where:

"Nagarjuna and Pirsig also have a similar recognition of two types of truth; the ‘static’ conventional truth (sammuti-sacca) and the ‘Dynamic’ ultimate truth (paramattha-sacca)."  
      (MoQ Textbook, p102)

But I am confused.  My response may contain ideas about the intellectual level, SOM and reification, and I have been told we are not hear to learn what I think, but to learn what RMP thinks.
