Descrição
Most monks in Rokugan belong to either the Brotherhood of Shinsei or the Order of Ten Thousand Fortunes, having entered the order while young and making it their life’s work. There is, however, a separate category of monks who are retired samurai. While they still generally enter one of these two orders, these individuals have spent their life in service to their clan as a bushi, courtier, artisan, or shugenja. Even samurai who spend time as a sensei, instructing and guiding a younger generation of samurai, eventually reach a point at which their age begins to make such service difficult. Many then put aside their clan affiliation, shave their head, and become a monk, living out their remaining days in quiet introspection and contemplation.
More militant samurai may prefer to meet a glorious end in battle, but there is no shame in retiring to become a monk. Without the intensive training young monks receive, such retired samurai seldom perfect the kihō commonly associated with monks. Nevertheless, such individuals are greatly revered, being sought by younger samurai for their guidance and wisdom.
