Trinley Dorje (pictured) is a pretty hip guy. Like many 24-year-olds, he’s into popular music and video games. He’s also the Karmapa Lama — the only senior Buddhist leader recognised by the governments of China, India and Tibet.
Agnostic mountain climbers today don’t know how good they have it with global positioning devices, high altitude helicopter rescue parties and 457 kHz standard avalanche beacons, something I realised while playing Deep Silver’s Cursed Mountain.
Before my first look at Deep Silver Vienna’s Cursed Mountain, I always thought of Buddhism as an optimistic celebrity religion where you didn’t go to Hell. Now I think it’s the second-scariest religion ever.
You can learn a lot from a behind-the-scenes movie. Today, I learned that mountains are women, Bardo probably sucks and Buddhist mountain climbers could potentially be the best zombies ever.
