Hi Ant,

Sorry, but other than RMP's book recommendation, the quotes (pp. 30 - 31) came directly from Hagen's book which I have read many times.  With my interest in Buddhism and such an important comparison suggested by RMP, I have found Steve Hagen's insights very meaningful, and sometimes I just cannot imagine stating something better than him.  If you used a portion of the same quote in the MoQ Textbook, that can only reinforce its value.  But you know me, when I have something put together in a form I am comfortable with I will present it, often repeatedly.  Until then,


Best wishes,

Marsha 

p.s.  Have you got anything original to offer?

Quotes that I've read numerous times (such as the one you extracted from the MOQ Textbook and the ones from Hagen's text) are "old news" and relatively boring (i.e. they are static).  Possibly it is similar to the difference between being a philosophologist ("dealing with old tea") and being a philosopher ("pouring the old tea away and making a cup from a new blend").
