yberspace resembles space in general, which Tibetan Buddhists characterize more as the absence of obstructions than as a distance between two points. Also, cyberspace, like ordinary space, can be defined as something that cannot in and of itself be seen or measured, yet which can be conceptualized and used. That is, it has no inherent existence for its own part, yet it exists as a field for mental activity." -- Web page of Namgyal Monastery, Ithaca, New York, on the occasion of the monastery's Blessing of Cyberspace, February 8, 1996.
