True Harmony

True Harmony, known in Honbian as Weadu (from wea "genuine" + du "grace") is the predominant religion of Eastern civilization. Most Easterners follow some aspects of True Harmony but the level of devotion varies greatly depending on the individual. Interestingly, the upper classes tend to be more devout than the poor. Over the past four decades some aspects of True Harmony have become incorporated into the belief of some Westerners, though sometimes in a simplistic or inaccurate way. Many of these Westerners follow Non-religion but incorporate elements of True Harmony they find practical.

While there are some notable writers who greatly influenced True Harmony, such as the ancient Neepan philosopher Dan Mee, the tenets of this belief system go back to time immemorial.

The core belief of True Harmony is that the distinction between the self and the rest of reality is illusory. This is not to say that True Harmony is solipsism; rather than saying the self is everything, True Harmony says it is actually nothing.

Believers in True Harmony believe that death is the greatest peace, and that through concentration and meditation one can experience an approximation of what death is like.

True Harmony teaches that unhappiness comes from desire for things that do not permanently satiate, such as food, drugs and alcohol, casual sex, and money. People are taught to strive for things like give lasting happiness, such as kindness, acceptance (including self-acceptance), love, and righteousness. It is believed that one can happily embrace their death once they learn to value the right things.

True Harmony places value in the community foremost and not in the individual, as the individual is believed to be temporary while the community will last forever, or at least much longer. This is one reason why authoritarian governments have often found power in countries that follow True Harmony. This doesn't mean that individual happiness is not valued, though, just that self happiness is believed to come from harmony with one's community, self and environment rather than libertarian freedoms.

True Harmony has a variety of churches and monasteries, but like The Faith of the West there is no central religious order. However some famous monks have acquired popular followings, the most popular current one being Peg Elsen of Honba's Mountain City.
