A Buddhist Sutra in 1000 Words, by ChatGPT-3.5

In the vastness of time and space, in the cosmic dance of existence, there exists a profound truth—the eternal essence that weaves through all creation, guiding beings on their journey towards enlightenment. In the sacred realm of the Buddha's wisdom, we find ourselves immersed in the boundless ocean of compassion and understanding. Let us delve into the depths of this wisdom and compassion, as we expound the teachings in this Buddhist Sutra.

Chapter 1: The Awakening of Truth

In the beginningless beginning, when the world was but a primordial void, a great light arose. This light, imbued with boundless love and compassion, was none other than the Buddha, the Awakened One. His wisdom knew no bounds, and with each breath, he embraced all beings with his boundless love.

He sat beneath the Bodhi tree, vowing to awaken all sentient beings from the slumber of ignorance and suffering. As he gazed into the vast expanse of existence, he saw the interconnectedness of all phenomena—the interdependence that bound everything together.

Chapter 2: The Noble Path

With his heart filled with boundless compassion, the Buddha proclaimed the Noble Eightfold Path—a path leading to the cessation of suffering and the realization of ultimate truth.

Right View: Recognizing the impermanence and interconnectedness of all things, understanding the law of cause and effect, and embracing the Four Noble Truths.

Right Intention: Cultivating a mind of love, compassion, and non-attachment, and letting go of harmful desires and intentions.

Right Speech: Abandoning falsehood, divisive speech, harsh language, and idle chatter, and speaking truthfully and mindfully.

Right Action: Refraining from harming living beings, stealing, and engaging in misconduct, and acting with kindness and generosity.

Right Livelihood: Choosing a livelihood that does not harm others or perpetuate suffering, and instead, contributes to the welfare of all beings.

Right Effort: Cultivating wholesome qualities, abandoning unwholesome ones, and diligently treading the path of awakening.

Right Mindfulness: Being fully present and aware in every moment, observing body, feelings, mind, and mental phenomena with equanimity.

Right Concentration: Developing deep meditative states that lead to insight and wisdom, transcending the illusion of a separate self.

Chapter 3: The Ocean of Compassion

The Buddha's teachings flowed like a vast ocean of compassion, embracing all beings without discrimination. He taught that every sentient being possesses the seed of enlightenment within, waiting to be awakened. With great care and skillful means, he delivered the Dharma to beings of various capacities and inclinations, guiding them towards liberation.

In his infinite compassion, the Buddha shared stories of his past lives, exemplifying virtues such as selflessness, patience, and generosity. Through these tales, he illuminated the boundless potential for goodness within all sentient beings, inspiring them to tread the path of awakening.

Chapter 4: The Wisdom of Emptiness

The Buddha expounded on the profound truth of emptiness (shunyata), the understanding that all phenomena lack inherent existence. Just as the waves arise and dissolve back into the ocean, all things arise due to causes and conditions, and ultimately dissolve back into the boundless expanse of emptiness.

He taught that clinging to the illusion of a separate self is the root cause of suffering. By realizing the emptiness of self and phenomena, one can break free from the shackles of ego and experience the true nature of reality.

Chapter 5: The Liberation of Mind

The Buddha taught that the mind is the key to liberation. It can be a source of suffering when entangled in delusion and craving, or it can be a vessel of wisdom and compassion when purified and trained.

Through mindfulness and insight meditation, one can pacify the turbulent waves of the mind, attaining inner tranquility and insight into the nature of reality. The liberated mind experiences joy and contentment in the present moment, free from regrets of the past and anxieties about the future.

Chapter 6: The Bodhisattva Path

The Buddha spoke of the Bodhisattva—a being dedicated to attaining enlightenment for the welfare of all sentient beings. The Bodhisattva's heart overflows with compassion, and they willingly postpone their own liberation to assist others on their journey to awakening.

The Bodhisattva practices the Six Perfections: generosity, ethics, patience, joyful effort, concentration, and wisdom. With unwavering determination and boundless love, the Bodhisattva tirelessly works for the benefit of all beings, vowing to guide them across the ocean of suffering to the shores of enlightenment.

Epilogue: The Eternal Dharma

As we contemplate the teachings of this Buddhist Sutra, let us recognize the preciousness of this human life and the opportunity it offers for spiritual growth. May we tread the Noble Eightfold Path, cultivating wisdom and compassion in our hearts. May we embody the spirit of the Bodhisattva, selflessly working for the welfare of all beings. And in doing so, may we realize the boundless and eternal truth—the oneness that transcends time and space—the ultimate realization of Enlightenment.

"Can anything separate us from Christ's love? Does it mean He no longer loves us if we have trouble or calamity, or are persecuted, or hungry, or destitute, or in danger, or threatened with death? (-) No, despite all these things, overwhelming victory is ours through Christ, who loves us.

And I am convinced that nothing can ever separate us from God's love. Neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither our fears for today nor our fears about tomorrow- not even the powers of hell can separate us from God's love. No power in the sky above or in the earth below- indeed, nothing in all creation will ever be able to separate us from the love of God that is revealed in Christ Jesus our Lord." -Romans 8:35,37-39

transcript:

Suddenly the world seems such a perfect place Suddenly it moves with such a perfect grace Suddenly my life doesn't seem such a waste It all revolves around you And there's no mountain too high No river too wide Sing out this song and I'll be there by your side Storm clouds may gather And stars may collide But I love you Until the end of time Come what may Come what may I will love you Until my dying day

I saw the children of God As they walked on slovenly by

this is concept art for a pmv, i am not sure yet if I’ll make it but if you guys like this then I’ll try! The idea is that mothwing will be drawn in water, and cats that believe in starclan can walk on water. There would be a few scenes of hawkfrost, probably trying to drag Mothwing into the water deeper, and things like that. I want to focus a bit on the broken code and starless clan mothwings too, like with willowshine’s death. anyway! let me know what you think ;__; !

Been keeping this away for long since its a very out of context specific stuff.

These are the Heads - the mostly spiritual leader of the central Foru micro-state collective. Their role is to be a guide for all the leaders (archs) in central Foru and speak for all of them on an international level. They also bless lands and people and generally are well-liked by them. They can make big decisions, but it's ultimately on the archs if they comply (but the pressure is strong).

Every head has a more specialized role, each representing a 'sense' of their one shared soul (hearing, seeing, touch, thought...) and people they are patrons to (the old, the "rich", the leaders, the priests...). Each central Foru micro-state usually has its favorite head that they want to see the most in their community when bringing them news or blessings.

here are closeups

The Heads are the center of a religion practiced in the region. In short - the Heads share one spirit that in ancient times belonged to a priest who misused their power to get to the spirit world and instead became forever stuck in the material world. After many reincarnations, the priest became a wise leader who learned to speak with the spirit world and make final peace between the worlds of spirits and the material.

I would need to go into more religion details to go over that but that can be a separate post. Let's talk about how they get their role.

A 'competition' is held to determine the best leader, most spiritually attuned, most well-thinking, and best-presenting individual. The Heads in position at the time with a few other high-ranking individuals will judge the participants and then make their pick at the choosing ceremony. Luckily there are not too many to choose from, there are many requirements to participate.

However, the one picked isn't one that will become a head, they would be far too old at the time. Instead, they will force their system to make a rare phenomenon happen. This means making more of themselves with cloning (having babies grow out of diploid cells with no need for another person). This is usually achieved when under high amounts of stress and loneliness.

The uniima egg naturally holds 4 larvae but usually only 1-2 develop fully while the rest becomes food for the surviving ones. This clone egg has 4 identical whites (pre-babies) in them that get special care to ensure at least 3 survive. There have been heads with one member before and with 2 and 3, but 4 is a miracle as the bottom corner larva almost never develops enough to hatch. This egg is very lucky.

The identical quadruplets are given to be raised in different environments. These environments will decide what they represent as adults. It will also give them better perspectives of the world, making it easier/more difficult to make big decisions when the time comes.

Additionally, because there are 4 heads this time, a new environment had to be introduced. This environment was that of small communities, minorities, and generally people living in poorer conditions (yes, for the past Heads, war was more important than their people suffering (it's a very central Foru thing)). Unfortunately for The Ear, they are not respected everywhere, and many people assume them to be a fake among their siblings.

You can also see the heads have each their own signature and each Head generation has their own symbol that is recognized outside their writing systems.
