Dialogue

Pt. 1

Between July 6, 2021 and July 14, 2021 Mom, he's destroying my philosophy. He's luring away my followers with raucous parties and fatty treats. You may want to reconsider your approach if that's all it takes to lure away followers. Oh, snap. Walked right into that one. Mom! What do you want me to do, Siddmartha? I love my children equally. You could send him to the tower and still love him equally. True. Guards, escort the prince to the tower so he can think about what he's done. Wait, what? I can think about what I've done just fine from down here! Snap back at ya! Task: "Collect Yin-yangs" (x125). If Prince Gautama is owned: Task: "Make Prince Gautama Think About What He's Done".

Now hold still or it won't stay down! *splat* Gah! Did someone just spit on my head?! Bullseye! Ah, perfect. Thank you! Quest reward: 100 and 10 Queen Gautama

Pt. 2

After completing Pt. 1 I want everyone gathered here to know that Prince Gautama has renounced his actions in creating Buddhism with Donuts. So, feel free to return to the regular Buddhism. Sans donuts? We'll find other things to replace donuts. Have you tried granola? What about beer? Unfortunately, no. In addition to no donuts, there's no beer. And what about donut beer? Is that a thing? I could probably make that a thing. Let's just stick to kombucha. It's healthy and trendy. And kinda close to donut beer. Donut beer, eh? Task: "Collect Yin-yangs" (x125).

Crunchy too! You're drinking a jar of pickles. Here you go, Barney. Freshly brewed kombucha, just for you. Ah, thanks! *belch* *whispering* Psst, it's donut beer. Don't tell the Buddha girl. If anyone wants to talk about me WITHOUT me hearing it, I'll be at the Bodhi tree. Quest reward: 100 and 10 Royal Tower

Pt. 3

After completing Pt. 2 I sense a disturbance in this place. Something to do with...donuts? *gasp* I thought my Dalai Lama tracker app was malfunctioning, but you're actually here! Ah, you must be Siddmartha. No, actually, this is Siddmartha. Hey. *looks back and forth between them* Really? Uh, okay. Siddmartha, my Lama sense was tingling. It told me you were about to do something regrettable. Like handing out knuckle sandwiches? Yes, like that. You know that Buddhism does not condone violence. Well, what about stuffing your face with sugary, deep-fried, fatty donuts? That's all these people seem to do. Actually, there's no prohibition on sweet treats such as donuts. It's all about balance. Woo hoo! Mr. Lama is the best! Task: "Collect Yin-yangs" (x100). Task: "Make Lisa Achieve Enlightenment". The job takes 4 hours. If The Dalai Lama is owned: Task: "Make The Dalai Lama Impart Wisdom".

If Siddmartha is owned: Task: "Make Siddmartha Contemplate Balance". The job takes place at Kathmandu U, Springfield University, Community Center, Springfield Multicultural Center, Springfield Elementary, Springfield High School, Shelbyville Elementary, or a Visitable Home and takes 4 hours. So it's not so much about what you eat, rather it's about keeping your chi in balance. Correct. As with all things, donuts should be enjoyed in moderation. Hello, Dalai. Does moderation mean "at every meal"? No. D'oh! Quest reward: 100 and 10 Lisa's "Reach True Enlightenment" animated job

Pt. 4

After completing Pt. 3 Thank you for showing me around this lovely little town. My pleasure. I thought we could round out the tour with a donut at Lard Lad. Excellent idea! I'm famished and I can get a bit grouchy when I'm hungry. That's called being hangry. Oh, that's clever. I'll have to remember to include that in my teachings. Task: "Collect Yin-yangs" (x100).

Wait, people are buying these things by the DOZEN? Often multiple dozens. Sometimes by the display case. They have families that large? Eh, no. But that's an obscene number of donuts! Perhaps now you see why I tried to put a stop to it. And they put donuts in their beer?! Remember, balance in all things. Especially our emotions. *takes a big breath* Yes, right now I am balancing an equal amount of anger and sadness. Quest reward: 100 and 10 Salt Mandala

Pt. 5

After completing Pt. 4 I think we could both use a little Zen time, so I've booked us a class making salt mandalas. Delightful. I need something to concentrate on so I can bring back my inner calm. It's good to know that even you can lose your calm every now and then. I'm enlightened. I'm not a saint. Buddhism doesn't have saints! ... Sorry, I'll feel better after the class.

Is it back to just you two attending all the Buddhist events? It's not all bad. We get dibs on the best meditation mats! Are you — the Dalai Lama? Yes. Are you Carl? Yes. *faints* It looks like everything is back in balance. Quest reward: 100 and 10
