Forum: Dharma Overground Discussion Forum

Hi Guys

Have been lurking for some time off and on ... anyway Daniels own friendly fire at the forum and an old fellow-retreatent looking worried together made me breka cover :-D

Anyway I have never found any group that was hardcore enough or young enough to ask this question to... so here goes.

So by video games I mean the old-fashioned sort - kinda space invaders or tertris or a more modern example Luxor... By nimitta - well ya'll know that one.

So I have found too often (but not that often in recent decades as waste less of my life lol) that after overdoing it when I shut my eyes, go to sleep etc etc I can see the darned little critters doing their things.

Of course the simple "traditional" answer here is "irrelevant and unconnected" .. however there may be some deep connection. Certainly if one focuses on the virtual thingies its a samatha object (but as they move around I suspect not one of the best lol). Not that I am suggesting this as a meditation object of course ... more just one of those "bottom drawer" curiosities of no particular importance whatsoever ... one of those leaves that was far away in the forest from the Buddhas hand :-)

kind regards and may all beings be happy!

Mike
