Nestor: Bright Virtue (Cathak Bankei)


Location: Five Dragons Courtyard (Temple District, Imperial City)


Description: Temple of Hesiesh, Immaculate of Fire. A broad hall of polished sandstone and bronze, under a shining dome topped with an eternal flame. Its long, pillared passages are lit by wide braziers and intricate panels of orange glass. Within the temple's central chamber is can be found a vast pit of smouldering embers, around which monks sit and pray amidst the smouldering heat. Devotion is shown here by walking the length of this pit barefoot, with those able to linger long atop the coals receiving the greatest reverence.


Meditation (and improper prayers amongst the laity) at this temple is undertaken by those who wish success at a single, all-important endeavour.
