SL and Zen

I like desk calendars that you pull off one page each day. Being, cheap, I will wait to get one after the beginning of the year when the price has dropped significantly. Yesterday I finally got my calendar for the year. I ended up with a Zen one that has “surprising sayings, parables, koans, and Haiku. While catching up I found some pages that can easily be brought into SL.

“The mystery of life is not a problem to be solved, but a reality to be experienced.” (Zen saying)

Second Life is considered a game and some people wonder how you “win.” How about this as an answer? The game of Second Life is not a problem to be solved, but a virtual reality to be experienced.

“Without leaving my house, I know the whole universe.” (Lao-Tsu)

Second Life: Without leaving my house I have friends from all over the world.

    I prefer a few of these answers :

    * The aim of second life is to retrieve one of the glowing figments from the elven fairy land, return this to the dark elf disguised as a dark cat in one of the gaurean sims (not to be confused with the evil friend of the dark elf, Zorkon, who will never admit his true name , nor his true intentions, and is in fact a shapeshifter), and then, once you have returned this, the objective is to find the lost maiden Julie who was enslaved and sold as a sex slave at the age of 16 to one of the unscrupulous club owners, who will have a copy of the last figment which you must combine with the first figment. THen ask a random about your next quest…

    * The aim of second life is to get a life , a life that you normally can’t live outside of the normal reality…
