The Breath Connects All Realms

This morning I searched for and found a beautiful Temple of Buddha on SecondLife and my avatar and I meditated together for the first time. It was wonderful. The meditation script is pretty amazing...the slowww and subtle breathing movements...the eyes...I felt myself relax right into it just watching her/me. This is something quite profound when you think of it. Such a learning tool..

Landmarked this spot as a favorite to return to often. My sound wasn't working but there is even a spinning tibetan prayer wheel near the buddha with Om Mani Padme Hum as a 'sound'! I can't wait to return and hear it. This Temple is located in Kasba.

That's pretty cool. I'm not surprised that 2L has a buddhist temple.

Do you have a second life?

Nah. I volunteer with an NPO called the ASF and Cory Andrejka (Linden Labs' primary internal developer) gave a presentation on 2L at our conference last year. From the audience's response, you'd think he was a marketing exec. Afterwards, everybody was talking about getting a second life, but first life sunk in and none of us had the time.
