Virtue and Traits of Excellence:

"All knights needed to have the strength and skills to fight wars... but they not only had to be strong but they were also extremely disciplined and were expected to use their power to protect the weak and defenseless. Knights vowed to be loyal, generous, and "of noble bearing".

Knights were required to tell the truth and respect the honor of women.

Knights vowed to protect the weak and guard the honor of fellow knights..

And they persevered to the end in any enterprise begun."

Always honoring their lineage as well...

THIS........is how i was trained on how to go forth into the world..

My Master used to call his students " the righteous knights of excellence"....

 and he demanded brilliance and integrity from all of  us to reflect the quality of his teaching and the practice...

I have never forgotten his words of inspiration..or his firm direction to achieve radiance.

Respects and appreciation for those beings who, now, still remind me on how to live in this world
