Today's discussion question

[Michael Bailey]

A) personal acquaintance with 2 westerners who adopted buddhism has not
revealed it to be a complete panacea of character improvement imho

B) pynchon doesn't seem extremely overawed by the mystic East in any of its
aspects.  Would say that christianity plays a much bigger role, also
western philosophical tradition and history of technology, in all his work.
