Thank you, that clears things up.
I am most familiar with the platform sutra and some poetry of the monks--and well--it's nigh impossible for me to relate that to anything Plato ever conceived.
But of course that may just mean I haven't read enough Plato or practiced enough zen.
- KC8ZKF 10y agoI think you are taking the Plato as a Buddhist quote too literally. It is meant as a literary metaphor to draw a distinction between Pirsig and Phaedrus, who are both characters in this particular novel.
