    For the Glory Of The Great Yang!

    Team AC is proud to announce that the faith of Yangism has become the guiding light in the everlasting struggle for our enlightenment.



    Learn to overcome the crass demands of flesh and bone, for they
    warp the matrix through which we perceive the world. Extend your
    awareness outwards, beyond the self of body, to embrace the self
    of group and the self of humanity. The goals of the group and the
    greater race are transcendent, and to embrace them is to achieve
    enlightenment.

    -- Chairman Sheng-Ji Yang,
    -- "Essays on Mind and Matter"



    Team AC wishes to thank everything and everyone who helped us to reveal the One True Faith in the Great Yang.
    -- What history has taught us is that people do not learn from history.
    -- Programming today is a race between software engineers striving to build bigger and better idiot-proof programs, and the Universe trying to produce bigger and better idiots. So far, the Universe is winning.

    I don't know why he saved my life. Maybe in those last moments he loved life more than he ever had before. Not just his life - anybody's life, my life. All he'd wanted were the same answers the rest of us want. Where did I come from? Where am I going? How long have I got? All I could do was sit there and watch him die.

    I suspected it:

    You are fake disciples of Yang teaching.

    So, it is "I" who remains? Is to laugh the right way to march to war?

    Happen what happen in the battlefield you shall be severely

    punished.

    Well, weren't Bananas supposed to be here for fun?

    So, the brave centaurian soldiers are marching on.
    The closer they get to Banana lands the more they laugh.
    They just can't stop, because Banana culture radiates a magical 'laughing aura' making everyone feel happy and careless. The fact they can't stop laughing, even in the sleep, makes them ever more agressive, some because they're so tired of laughing they'd do all they can to dispose of the source of it, others because they so much like to laugh and carelessly run naked between the Banana trees, that they'd do all they to own its source and continue feeling happy forever..

    The Great Banana is the source of humor in this world. The evil Yang is trying to destroythe source of humor. We are meant to good friends who can make laugh.

    Banana seems proud
    But his warriors fire blanks
    Musa blossom falls


    We're chinese though, not japanese. So I guess we should really be writing 5 character verses. But they don't translate so well into english

    But you said the opposite of said thoughts:

    It is the goal (the mountain) who should remain, not the self of the
    disciple.

    And to march to war must be like to attend a funeral, not to go to a
    fun party.

    Best regards,

    The mountain is the physical world, and it is reduced to nothing in the teachings of Yang. The self is all that remains, able to be changed and perfected according to the desires fof the disciple.

    There are some who believe victory in war should be treated as a funeral, because it is terrible that war was necessary at all. However we are not yet victorious, and this war is only necessary due to the shortsighted, exploitative nature of your leaders. Right now they should be the ones thinking about funerals.

    But do not worry, your interest in his teachings is heartening and we will bring his word to all your people as soon as we are able.
