"Muchimotsu." Sanzo corrected. The part about Buddha might not have too much relevance for someone who didn't know who he was in relation to Buddhism, but the rest of it would make up for that.

"Embrace nothing. If you meet the Buddha, kill the him. If you meet your father, kill him. Only live your life as it is, not bound to anything."

It sounded pretty fucked up (on the surface), at least compared to the Jedi code, but Buddhism didn't advocate violence either, but right living.

That sounded fine in theory, but Sanzo was willing to bet that the majority of the monks living in their secluded temples didn't have to fight for their life on a daily basis.

"Non-attachment, basically." the monk finished.
