Arhat
Enigma of the Game
A being does not exist
Arhat diverges. It is a poem, an enigma, a void and
a whole. It is incomplete, but infinite. It is waiting
to be deciphered, found, and then resurfaced. The
path of interpretation will be difficult for those
Priests and Beings still in chains.
Ceremony of Initiation
A bring congregates
Each Ceremony has a, and only one, Priest; the one
who will say that it is true and that it is false, the one
who will read the dice, build the present and observe
the future.
Each other participant in the Ceremony will be able
to create a Being and influence their actions. If the
Being’s Karma is good, it can also read the present
just like the Priest.
Emerging from Samsara
A being is reborn
First step
Focus on the essence of Being. Who are you? What
is your appearance and behavior ? How did you come
to be who you are ? How you are known?
Second step
The Priest will choose the same Mantra for all
[Essential Mantra], then each Being chooses 2
Mantras based on your thoughts [be either Life or
Blood Mantras.].
Third step
Choose an Astra, your inherent piece.
Fourth step
Choose a Nirvana, your essential goal
for which you will sacrifice everything.
Mantras of the Ascent
A being walks
Mantras are poems of free interpretation, which
give skills and capabilities. Each trait is shaped and
limited by the Vision of The Priest, which therefore
must be clear.
Essential Mantras
The Priest will choose or create depending on his
Vision.

 Nirvanas
Unveil the path
A being transcends
Nirvana is the primordial land, the goal of each
being, what you want to achieve, the reason why
you create and destroy. Choose a Nirvana and, at
any time, the Priest or any Being can conjure up
a problem. [“I pounce recklessly.”; “I trust this, despite
everything.”; “I will not ally myself with any of them.”; “I
will do it even if it means breaking the law.”; “I will not
allow you to help me.”; “I will take revenge for this.”; “I
find myself obstinate to achieve it.”; etc.].
Every time a complication or a Maia arises because
of your Nirvana, all those affected beings can spin
the prayer wheel. Every time you manage to overcome
a complication or a Maia caused by your own or
someone else’s Nirvana, you can spin the prayer
wheel.

 The Path
Spin the prayer wheel
Every time a being spins the prayer wheel, The Being
will get (1) Karma light. If spins the prayer wheel
as consequence of an event that could have been
incredibly dangerous, you acquire (2) Karma lights
instead of (1).
Karma
Sacrifices of Life
A being advances
Every time the actions of a being can have negative
consequences, you must roll the dice. Each Mantra
and Astra that is an advantage, will give a dice.
When the dice are silent, keep the highest and
observe the result:

1-3. You barely achieve your task, but you or an ally

When the Priest describes the present, you can
receive a Maia for it: “You manage to defeat him, but
extinguish a Karma light to create a small alteration
