VLVL2 (15): "passion, enmity, folly"

[Tim Strzechowski]

380.28:  "Had it only been, as she'd begun to fear, that many years of what the Buddha calls "passion, enmity, folly"?  Suppose that she'd meant, all the time, to be paying attention to something else entirely?"

"
[...]

Give up the old ways-
Passion, enmity, folly.
Know the truth and find peace.
Share the way."

Does this sentiment in any way reflect Pynchon's themes in Vineland?
