[MD] Priest's paper

[MarshaV]

Tuukka,

I've read the MMK a few times, and I've read enough about the MMK, Emptiness (Dependent Origination) and the Two-Truths to know there are alternative views between different branches of Buddhism and between different scholars.  And, please, I also stated in my previous post that besides liking/disliking, your agreeing/disagreeing is not my responsibility.  What do you mean by "add detail"?  To what will you add detail, Priest's point-of-view or Nagarjuna's point-of-view?

>>> The Priest quote is long ago and far away.  I thought you'd like to read the paper because he was offering a mathematical characterization of Emptiness.  His demonstration was always over my mathematical head.  I feel no responsibility for you agreeing or disagreeing, liking or disliking the paper.
