Sometimes you'll find wheels, sometimes you'll find sutras and mantras, sometimes you'll see quotations from the sayings of Buddha. For each 2 of the wheels you find, you'll then be able to find one of the Four Noble Truths, which are represented here by books: You'll find one of these books on each of the game's four levels. In order to complete each level, you must find both of that level's wheels and its Noble Truth (book). Once you do so, you will be able to go to the next level. Cursor Feedback This game uses a "cursor feedback" system. You'll know when you've found something when your normal cursor changes to this: Similarly, you'll know which directions are available for movement according to the way the cursors change: Look up Go Back (or Look Down) Go Left Go Right The cardinal rule of gameplay is: click on everything! One is not a bearer of the teaching by virtue of much speaking, but he who, even if he has only studied a little, has experienced the truth in person, he is indeed a bearer of the teaching, who has not forgotten the teaching. --The Dhammapada The World Wide Web contains a wealth of information about Buddhism.
