Monks Conclave

Believer of Buddha Subhuti and they preach the corporeal body’s nothingness and the four elements’ hollowness (四大皆空).

The members are all Eternals and their goal of walking the land was to unite humanity, reverse-engineer the equipment, and reproduce the corresponding technology so as to allow everyone to obtain eternal life, end the Dark Age, and enter the New World.

They think that this world is Buddha Lokeśvara-Tathāgata’s dream world (Buddha of the past, the sovereign of creation) and the Kalendaria that rules over the leap month, or rather, the entire year—all time.

Buddha Lokeśvara-Tathāgata has another name, Stupa. This is another form of address for Buddhas. At the same time, it represents a Buddha tower (a pagoda).

Therefore, when we recite Lokeśvara-Tathāgata’s Buddhist title, we should salute the highest tower around us. It can be a Buddha tower, a water tower, iron tower, signal tower, or high-voltage towers.

Buddha Subhuti is the Tathāgata of the present world, the origin of all sentience.

Behavior
The monks of the Monks Conclave did not have strong aggressive tendencies towards humans. In fact, they were often somewhat friendly. However, the problem was that human consciousness could not be produced out of thin air.

In order to maintain the ‘population’ and the parish, the monks were active in the various wildernesses in search of the ‘Fated’.

If they found a Fated, they would ‘redeem’ their target and bring them back to the Glazed Pure Lands. They would then make these Fated give up on their physical bodies and transmit their consciousness into a robot’s bionic chip.

This worsened the Monks Conclave’s reputation rapidly, making it almost notorious.

Many mechanical monks had certain and different problems. When they encountered a specific scene or heard a specific sentence, they would lose control of themselves and go crazy. It would take them some time to calm down. It was akin to triggering the mentally ill or a personality defect.

This unstable state made many humans in the Ashlands view the mechanical monks as ferocious beasts.
