An assistant professor at Kansas State University is researching the spread of Buddhism in virtual reality. As part of this, she is studying the development of Buddhist communities in Second Life.
I confess I have ventured into Second Life only a couple of times. The first time I became frustrated because my avatar persisted in having a rabbit head, and I did not want a rabbit head. A few years later I tried again, and managed to create a nicer avatar who wandered around on an island for awhile.
As fun as that was, somehow I just never got into Second Life. Maybe I'll check it out again, though. Apparently there are temples where avatars can meditate. Does anyone here have any experience with Second Life Buddhism?
