The Satthuvian Creed Manifesto

The Manifesto

We are the Satthuvian Creed, a tribal community of modern warrior Sramanas - ascetics flourishing at the confluence of the ancient and the contemporary. We honour the sacred spiritual practices of our forebears while boldly engaging with the imperatives of civilisational progress. As stealthy meditators, we cultivate a state of meditatefulness in every fleeting moment of our lives - embracing each chore, challenge, and joyous occasion as a sacred rite. Unbeknownst to the world around us, we embark on an inward odyssey, transcending the mundane and ascending to ever-greater heights of understanding, perception, and experience.

We form an inner circle of warrior mystics, yogis, martial artists, meditators, and professional mavericks, united in our unwavering commitment to uplift one another in our quests for success within a modern landscape. While we strive for professional triumphs, we remain ever in pursuit of wisdom that transcends the gains of technological advancement. We recognise that our sojourn in this realm of Samsara is not merely for existence, but for learning, evolving, and ultimately transcending through Spiritual Awakening and the revelation of the Truth of Nibbana within.

Every moment in this life is a treasure trove of immeasurable beauty, each experience serves as a gateway to boundless wisdom. We embrace life in its fullness as ascetics who honour the paradox of existence - the opposites, the life and death entwined in a sacred dance. Together we rise, we awaken together, forging a new Path toward Enlightenment. United in our commitment to the Journey of Life, we learn to Love Everything Completely.

Together we rise, we awaken together. We are the Satthuvian Creed. This is the Path.

The Creed Empowerments

We, the members of The Satthuvian Creed, hereby affirm our unwavering dedication to the following principles and ideals:

Equanimity: We commit to nurturing profound equanimity within ourselves and among sentient beings, recognising the importance of balance and inner peace. Through the practices of mindfulness, meditatefulness and meditation, we strive for acceptance, resilience, and the transcendence of duality. We  maintain composure amidst life's challenges and foster a sense of harmony and understanding in our connections with others.

Meditatefulness: We pledge to live a meditateful live, using every moment and every situation to deepen our state of consciousness. Through our practices, we seek to comprehend the Nature of Reality and the roots of suffering. Through contemplation, work and continuous development, we aim to awaken to the Deep Truth of Existence and apply this understanding for the benefit of all beings.

Purpose: We stand as ardent advocates for individual sovereignty, believing that every sentient being has a Purpose. We reject all forms of oppression, tyranny, and injustice, championing the right of every soul to live authentically and pursue their unique journey toward Enlightenment, individual and collective Life Purpose. 

Oneness: We aspire to cultivate a sense of oneness and interconnectedness with the Universe and all its dimensions, embracing both unity and diversity.  We transcend duality, perceiving the Universe as a living organism and an expression of the Thata, the Origin, the Consciousness, where we all come from and where we all advance towards.

Wisdom: We dedicate ourselves fully to the pursuit of wisdom and knowledge, recognising it as the vehicle that leads to Spiritual Awakening, the aim of human existence. Through diligent practice, self-discipline, and spiritual exploration, we strive to realise our inherent potential and awaken to the true Nature of Reality. We respect Sakyamuni Buddha and other teachers who we may have come across in out Life Journey.

Energy: We recognise that Universal Energy permeates and binds the Universe, radiates through all things and sustains all in existence. This Vital Force, the Field, is the essence of Life and Consciousness, flowing through every being, every entity, and connecting us to the Cosmos. By attuning ourselves to this Energy, we cultivate awareness and harmony, allowing us to harness its transformative power for growth, creativity, and development.

Resilience: We uphold the highest standards of ethical conduct, acting with honesty and integrity in all our interactions. We stand against evil and dark forces, diminishing and dissolving them as we transcend to the next level of human consciousness. We recognise that our actions ripple through the fabric of existence and strive to align our lives with our core values and beliefs.

Mindset: We embrace a warrior mindset, harmonising innovation and progress in the outer world with our quest for Awakening in the inner realm. We harness the power of knowledge and technology to uplift humanity and the planet, while also acquiring and propagating ancient wisdom. We remain open to new ideas, insights, and teachings that may illuminate our Life Purpose along this fulfilling Path.

Empathy: We commit to nurturing profound empathy for all sentient beings, in this and other dimensions, recognising their intrinsic value and dignity. Through acts of kindness, understanding, and selflessness, we strive to alleviate the suffering of others and weave a tapestry of compassion and connection.

Nurturing: We nurture unity, harmony and the conscious evolution within ourselves and all sentient beings,  in this and other dimensions, with love and care, recognising their inherent value and worthiness. Through acts of kindness, understanding, and selflessness, we strive to alleviate the suffering of others and weave a tapestry of compassion and connection.

Transformation: We recognise that the journey toward Enlightenment is a continuous process, and we remain receptive to growth, change, and evolution. We embrace the Path of Self-discovery and Self-development and commit ourselves to lifelong learning, adaptation, and transformation along the road to Spiritual Awakening.

Stealth: We strive to be stealthy warriors, confronting our inner weaknesses and deepening our spiritual practices with every moment and every breath, often unnoticed by those around us. We combat injustice in the world by fostering peace, love, and service to all sentient beings, particularly those in need. We seek profound knowledge and experience of the True Nature of Reality, aspiring to awaken and encounter the Nibbana within.

In accordance with these principles, we, the members of The Satthuvian Creed, pledge to work tirelessly towards the realisation of a world guided by compassion, wisdom, and freedom. We stand united in our commitment to create a world where all beings may live in peace, harmony, and happiness.
