Letter home

Laoshi,

It has been a most enlightening time. My skills improve quickly. There are many opportunities to perfect myself. Mentally, there have been many hurdles. I lost two friends. One was a warforged and the other a half-orc, but there was no denying the Buddha nature in either of them. I did not realize they were not with us until we had left them behind and they were slaughtered. Though they might be outcast in a group such as ours, they were both fine creatures. I can only believe that their Karma was such that they will attain much higher status in the next life.

Life is suffering, brothers. May we all learn to release our attachments and achieve Nirvana.

--Qiang
