| Dondon:
in italy, we make a strong distinction
between those two words
As to any Truth-declaring system,
Truth is undeclarable.
- Buddha
To be attached to a certain view
and to look down upon others' views as inferior,
this the wise men call a fetter.
- Buddha
Believe nothing on the faith of traditions,
even though they have been held in honor
for many generations and in diverse places.
Do not believe a thing because many people speak of it.
Do not believe on the faith of the sages of the past.
Do not believe what you yourself have imagined,
persuading yourself that a God inspires you.
Believe nothing on the sole authority of your masters and priests.
After examination, believe what you yourself have tested
and found to be reasonable, and conform your conduct thereto.
- Buddha

sorry, but still i do need conventionalities.
shunyata doesn't annichilate the functional dharmas
(as from nagarjuna onwards was made very clear
using very reasonable declaring systems).
i hope to reach - in this life? - the paramarthasatya,
actually i'm not sure to have fully phatom samvrittisatya :-)
y.d.
