Temple of the Five Elements

The Temple of the Five Elements was one of the oldest temples of Rokugan. Way of Shinsei, p. 103
== Founded ==
It was supposedly founded by one of the first great Elemental Masters upon her retirement. She fasted and meditated upon the Tao of Shinsei to perform a week-long ritual that created the temple itself from the raw essence of the elements. 
== Study of the Tao ==
The Temple was widely regarded as one of the foremost centers for the study of the Tao in the Empire. Many Elemental Masters chose to retire there. The monks were respected by all other temples, but in the 12th century the younger monks viewed themselves in somewhat of an elitist light. These ideas faded as they progressed in their study of the Tao.
