There've been a couple of references suggesting some folks here see a
difference between MOQ and Buddhism. I'd have thought the differences
between them were - in the opinion of both - unimportant..? The language of
a mystical viewpoint and its methods of conceptually dividing reality are
"the hand" while the DQ, Tao, Dharmakaya, Brahman, Great Spirit is the
"moon".. As "things", there are differences between them and similarities,
and whether you focus on them as different or as the same must hinge on the
intellectual environment from which you're contemplating them. For most of
us presumably that's a history of SOM based analysis so they must appear
primarily the same..
