Description

The True Wind Sutra is an Immaculate religious text, considered to be the words of the Immaculate Dragon Mela recorded by her followers during the battle against the corrupt rule of the Anathema. The Sutra consists of nine-hundred and nintey one aphorisms, termed 'Lessons', which Mela spoke to her followers in order to guide them towards right behavior and enlightenment. Some laypeople consider some of the Sutra's Lessons to be cryptic, or struggle to understand the relation between them, but this is deemed merely due to a lack of contemplation and enlightenment.


It is not known if the current True Wind Sutra is complete, as there have been new Lessons discovered over the centuries which have been found by the Palace Sublime to be part of the Sutra.


Selected Excerpts

"Understanding is as the Wind. Against it, illusions disappear as white mist is blown from the face of the Moon."
