Ryou Gu Tykou/Beliefs & Gods
Our Beliefs
Within the Ryou Gu Tykou there are three gods, Korojima, Mizuki and Takanobou. These are the watchers of the Ryou Gu Tykou. They each stand for their own path in life but they are only advanced forms of worship. Long ago these gods used to fight and say that their paths and ways of life were the best. Eventually they realized they couldn't beat each other so they came to a compromise. They formed the ultimate council of the Ryou gu Tykou and they agreed that for those who want to live an easy life. The one rule they must follow is acceptance. Within the Ryou Gu Tykou acceptance is the golden rule. You must accept everyone from everywhere. You must accept your enemy. You may treat them as you like but you may never insult their cause. Everyone has their cause and you cannot insult it. You may say yours is better but discrediting another's cause of life is definitely not acceptance and you are a great dishonour to the Ryou Gu Tykou.
The Gods
As you know the three gods are, Korojima, Mizuki and Takanobou. They may have come to a compromise but they still love their personal path better. To advance to senior ranks of the Ryou Gu Tykou (Or at least become eligible) you must choose one of the paths and one of the gods to individually worship but beware we must remember the golden rule acceptance. If you are in a different path to a fellow member they are still a brother and they must be accepted like all. The paths are to be taken very seriously. There are many who think the paths as part of life. No! When you choose a path it becomes your way of life. It becomes why you live. You must
Which one suits you?
The Rule
Even though worshipping one of the gods is good. You must never forget the main rule, acceptance. Just because you and a fellow follower worship a different god. You can still be friends. Actually it is fun to discuss your differences and just accept each other. If a person starts bragging about his god and discrediting others he will be instantly demoted because he has shown that the seniors have made the wrong choice in thinking that he has understood the rule.
The Rule governs your whole only major aspects of life. People who follow it to accepting there dog pooping on the carpet is ridiculous. The Rule must be used only in the things in life that really mean anything.
Acceptance can be defined in many different ways and this is where you have to listen. The Ryou Gu Tykou have one definition of "Acceptance". Acceptance is when you do not hate something because it is different. You can hate things but not because they are different. You don't have to accept everything you get. You don't have to accept bad behaviour but you must accept the differences on people and that is the main thing.
A better way to put The Rule is "Accepting Differences".
One must always remember that their individual god is their choice. You god is yours. You god is not better in any way. It is just different and that doesn't mean you cannot get along with your peers. In the ancient times of the Ryou Gu Tykou. When Korojima, Mizuki and Takanobou hadn't come to a compromise. Many people made the mistake of thinking they were better. They felt their gods were better. All this bought was Murder, Destruction and Hate. These were the reasons the three came together.
When one is a traitor they may not use the rule as an excuse. The Rule says you must accept peoples differences but you may treat their actions as you like and as you see fit. You may live whatever lifestyle you like. The Ryou Gu Tykou don't mind if you are an evil bastard or a nice wonderful person. Although that might come into play if you choose a path but that is a different story. You can be the meanest man in the world and be a follower of the Ryou Gu Tykou however you must always accept all.
