Path of Enlightenment

The Path of Enlightenment, known in Kozakura as the Way of Enlightenment, was the state religion of both Shou Lung and Wa and a popolar one in Kozakura and other Kara-Tur countries. It was based over some writings on the sheer granite of the Cliffs of Tanghai in in the Hungtse River provinces, said by legends blasted by red lightning. They admonished to: "Honor that which has gone before you. For the past is eternal. Honor and respect your Elders and the Ancestors. Show honor in word, thought, action and deed. Speak not false words, nor engage in false deeds, for these are not li (the term for rightness under heaven). Do honor to he who rules you, for the Earth is the Mirror of Heaven, and the Son of Heaven is the mirror of the Celestial One. Be obedient to your lord. Engage in no base thing, nor commit murder, for to strike another in the name of anger is not li. Do honor to those you must rule, for under the eye of Heaven, they are your equals. Be fair to those you rule. Know that all things are One under Heaven, even the lowliest of creatures." The Path encouraged people to obey to superiors and was a easy way for ruling dynasties to gain people's loyalty ,
