Ninshu

**The teachings of Ninshu** were meant to give people a better understanding of themselves, as well as others, and lead the world into an era of peace. The founding sages of Ninshu exemplified their teachings by distributing chakra meant to "connect" people's spiritual energies with one another. It would allow people to understand each other without communication and pray for one another's safety. It was their belief that no one's chakra should be so much greater than any other. Represented with prayer beads and shakujo. Some ninshuu followers have developed connections to the five foundational chakra elements of fire, wind, lightning, earth, and water. While all ninshu followers practice the same basic tenets some decide to focus on an element in order to more profoundly understand how the chakra elements have been able to bind nations and peoples together such as the Will of Fire in fire ninshu.
