John is a practicing Buddhist and lives alone in a picturesque cottage in rural Dorset. He has also been a resident of Second Life for over 2 years now.
He owns an island in Second Life that has beautiful gardens, a waterfall and a Buddhist temple for people to relax in. Every evening he sits on his virtual dock on his virtual bay and people from around the world join him on his island to sit and share their problems.
John has created a haven for people who suffer from depression, a place where they can come and feel safe and loved. Many of the people who spend time on John's island find it too difficult to talk to people face to face in the real world, but find the anonymity of the online environment liberating.
In the centre of the island is a booth that dispenses information about real world support groups and John has a team of professionals who advise him on any difficult matters.
