To seek bloodshed willingly is an endeavour that brings no one closer to enlightenment. To defeat a challenger in fair combat is one thing, as is protecting those in need, but to call for wanton destruction as a cure for boredom is to give into pure bloodlust.

I offer you all an alternative challenge. Set out to roam the land and engage everyone you encounter in conversation instead. Discuss problems, settle differences, persuade and encourage. Be at peace with one another, and yourself, and you will find yourself not craving entertainment at the cost of lives.

Have your fleeting excitement, Korue, and then we shall attempt the Toshan way.

Penned by my hand on the 8th of Shanthin, in the year 648 CE.
