Enlightenment
From L5r: Legend of the Five Rings
While many seek the elusive goal of enlightenment, others argue futilely as to what it truly is all about. Some say that it is as a lotus petal opening up within one's mind, revealing the mysteries of the world to our limited mortal comprehension; some say that it is as the flickering steadiness of a candle stub in the darkness of a cave, lighting up the savage splatter of blood upon the walls that is the truth; and yet more say that enlightenment may never be explained, for that is precisely why we seek it.
The enigmatic Dragon Clan is famous for its pursuit of enlightenment, although in recent times the Crane Clan purportedly has found it; irony of all ironies, that the most materialistic of all the Great Clans should find something supposedly above the sensuous pleasures of life.
Many seekers of enlightenment believe that the Tao of Shinsei holds the secret to the ultimate prize. They pursue his teachings religiously, in the hope that the Little Teacher himself - believed by some to be the first enlightened mortal in the world - might have left behind some clues or directions to attaining enlightenment.
