Contemplations on the Odu Otura Ogbe (Otura Niko)

Templars, shaolin, sohei, almoravids, Sengueï Ngaro, it's no coincidence that throughout history some of the greatest warriors were monks.  The question is not what you can do in the name of religion, but what you can do to make the world a better and more balanced place. Religious ferver will always give way to excess and extreme and must be tempered with restraint and contemplation lest it devolve into a world of the powerful and powerless.  -- marcos ifalola
