Stage Manager's Office

Stage Manager's Office (#898)

(an instance of Generic Room with Seats made by Marcus)

     In here is a little office. A desk is piled high
      with an aging electric typewriter, stolen books
      and a mess of lists and typescripts all overdue
      for rejection letters. Posters announcing shows
      in productions long past are peeling from walls
      and doors. In a corner is a spot laid out, with
      a cushion on a rug, just to sit down in.

You sit down on a cushion in the corner.

You see a stage trunk and Diogenes here.

EXITS:
      A door leads out. [ out ] Backstage. You go out through the door.

This place has a certain ambiance...
      1. First, train in the preliminaries.
      2. Regard all dharmas as dreams.
      3. Examine the nature of unborn awareness.
      4. Self-liberate even the antidote.
      5. Rest in the nature of alaya, the essence.
      6. In postmeditation, be a child of illusion.
      7. Sending and taking should be practiced alternately. These two should ride the breath.
      8. Three objects, three poisons, and three seeds of virtue.
      9. In all activities, train with slogans.
     10. Begin the sequence of sending and taking with yourself.
