-THE GAIAN BUDDHIST MONASTERY!!!!-
The Gaian Buddhist Monastery is a place for those with an affinity and interest in gathering the Buddhists of Gaia together to practice in towns and elsewhere in Gaia.
In the monastery friends can join together to learn how to apply The steps of the Noble Eightfold Path ( Right Understanding, Right Thought, Right Speech, Right Action, Right Livelihood, Right Effort, Right Mindfulness and Right Concentration.) And come to understand more fully the Four Noble Truths, ( Life is suffering, this suffering has a cause, which is ignorance, this ignorance can be overcome and extinguished, the Way to overcome this ignorance is by following the eight fold path..)
This Guild is for the conversation and contemplation of all things Buddha
Welcome and have a great time ^_^.

-These are the temporary and still debatable precepts, please speak out if you feel a revision is nessecary. -
1. do not make the stay of a fellow gaian unpleasant in any way.
2. do not steal, hack, or use codes, programs, scripts or bots that would give you an unfair advantage above your fellow gaians.
3. do not partake in sexual misconduct.
4. do not speak false truths. (lies build, and are very detrimental)
5. do not partake in any mind altering or intoxicating situation, or substance. (an unclean mind in Gaia is an unclean mind in real life.)
-the additional Monastic Precepts -
1. Respect the "lives" of the living creatures of Gaia. (loving kindness always)
2. do not indulge in the over adornment of one's avitar. (avoid attachment to beauty)
3. do not place yourself above any one & do not judge the place of others. (there is no ego, avoid arrogance)
4. donate to those who are in need of gold/items when ever possible.
