Bodhi is known as the god of monks, primarily. He also shows favor to those who seek attainment through his teachings. The Nan'xin' worship hima as their cheif deity.

[edit] Dogma

Bodhi teaches that inward attainment is as important as outward attainment. He discourages gluttony, ruthelessness and wantonness of all kinds, as they are determental to order and the search for attainment. He is believed to grant a higher state of being after death to those who seek to be like him, and only him. It is also said that those who find true balance and attainment in their lives are granted ascent to be with him and are made like him. Although Bodhi favors monks most highly he also has been known to be helpful to anyone (namely clerics) who wishe to better themselves through spritual and physical mastery.

[edit] Clergy and Temples

Bodhi's temples are not som much temples as they are open places in forrests, and usually if any structures are there, they are only for short term use, or they are shrines. There are, however, monasteries in wich a majority his monks reside. Usually these monasteries are populated by exclusively monks, though monasteries in the more poulated areas also contain cerics who take on the role of an abott or priest.
