Buddhists

## Buddhism

Buddha, a person, a thought, innate to everyone. Suffering too, thought as innate to every living beeing, a great pain endured by all.

They way of the world are immeasurable and so are the ways of man, of demon, of every living beeing. Mysterious they might be, but countless eons of life surely amounted to some progress, no? Thus there are many ways to realize ones Dao, many rarely tread, some much more. The path of the Devil is the path of obsession and so is the path of Buddha.

### Buddha

There once was a man, born not to royality, to rule the world, nor to mundanity. Gifted wealth and health at birth he indulged in all worldly pleasures imaginable, while dreaming fo the world from within his palace walls. Until the first fateful day, the day of a frog in the well taking its first great leap. Seeing the world, the people, all for what it was, he was enlightened. Thus first fell the robes, wealth and nobel name, following which he wandered the planes. A world of contrasts, contrasts which complement, is what he learned of decades of travel. Seeing this he was compelled to seek teaching and spread, to aid the weak and strong. A new dream was birthed, a world free of suffering. Acruing immeasurable merit while teaching and saving the people Heaven granted the Title of Buddha and a youthful body.

Buddha, walking the earth, breathing spirit, enlightening the world, was obsessed. A world, of cycles, of great wonder and terrible despair. Wandering the world for too long, witnessing the cycles of birth and destruction, happiness and sorrow, he reached a conclusion. To attain the truth and realize his way he would have to give up his useless endeavour of saving all living beeings. First he had to safe himself, form an Immovable Body to bear the worlds punishment of fire and grief and realize a Serene Mind of benevolence, capapble of seeing the essence and truth of all things, capable of leading all beeings the way.

This is the birth of the two Bddhist ways. The Immovable Buddha, the invincible fortress sheltering from the ravages of the cycles of Heaven and Earth, and the Serene Buddha, nurturing truth and enlightenment to save all living beeings.

### The Immovable Buddha

The first beeings of mind were the first demons, the Ancients. A world, not at all like the now, of great chaos and disorder, formed their bodies into Immovable Fortresses to stand the ravages of Balance. Thus Buddha sought out the Chaos and formed thier Golden Body ot braze all the chaos in the world. A body of Iron and Gold, Sticks and Stones. A body like the world, to encompass the world, to resist it. Thus ist the Immovable Body.

#### Buddhists

A Body truly unlike nature and alike nature as well. Isolated in the mountains, seeking enlightenment on the body, they train to emulate the Ancients and build their own worlds. These are the Immovable Buddhists which seek Nirvana through the Body.

*The world is of chaos and suffering. An imperfect world unlike all ideals. Thus you ought forge your own.*

[These Buddhists live in secluded places, training their bodies in accordance to very rudamentary exercises in hopes of attaining enlightenment. They keep to themselfs, instead persuiing personal enlightenment and the formation of the Golden Body.]

### The Serene Buddha

The first beeings of mind braced the world with their bodies. But this was not the end as Heaven and Earth had yet to truly form and Balance devolved into crocked forms, they saw deeper into the truth of the world than anything ever again. A truth of absurdity, of insanity. Thus caused the death of all Ancients too weak of mind to perserve, leaving only thoose of Serene Mind to derive enlightenment and knowledge and pass it on to the next generation.

#### Buddhists

To emulate not the Ancients but Buddha, they seek minds of serenity. Minds of great understanding and truth, to guide all beeings beyond. Thus they built not worlds of theirs but transcend reality.

*Everything is in the mind, everything is an Illusion, everyone may seek a serene mind, peace.*

[These Buddhists cultive the mind alone, in hopes of attaining enlightenment for themselfs and others. As they comprehend the world in its entirety, while seeking to transcend it, they frequently travel it, this too in accordance too the original Buddha. They actively spread their ideals in the world and make use of Talismans and Arrays to prevent the spread of mindnumbing influences. What the detest the most is the tempering or worse destruction of the Soul as it signals not escape and realisation but the loss of both]

## Realms

The "Life-Extension-Technique" allows "Buddhists" of a low realm to live vastly longer lifes than their "Cultivator" counterparts.

### Life Extension Technique

A "Body-Refinement-Buddhist" may live several decades longer by slowing the "Vital-Qi's" dissipation, using this technique. This causes one to get stuck in their "Cultivation" as the lack of movable "Vital-Qi" makes the practice of "Buddhist-Scriptures" impossible.
