а ведь один из двух лам, претендующих на главенство линии Карма Кагью, наверняка по вечерам играет в Doom:
[Q:] Is that why you play war games on your play station because many might say it’s inappropriate for a Buddhist monk dedicated to peace to play war games?
[A:] Well, I view video games as something of an emotional therapy, a mundane level of emotional therapy for me. <...>
So, for me sometimes it can be a relief, a kind of decompression to just play some video games. If I’m having some negative thoughts or negative feelings, video games are one way in which I can release that energy in the context of the illusion of the game. I feel better afterwards.
The aggression that comes out in the video game satiates whatever desire I might have to express that feeling. For me, that’s very skilful because when I do that I don’t have to go and hit anyone over the head.
замечательный. а вот и еще одна видеоигра, к слову.
