Watching them perform this work on
a soul, a tall spirit wearing a white robe
began sweeping light across this soul.

has made his mental resolve in this way
goes visibly, carried by the force of the
resolution like an arrow shot by an archer."
The Path of Purification, Chapter XII, The
Supernormal Powers, No. 132, (Buddhism,
Theravadan)
"Never begin a war yourself, God does not
like blood-shed, fight only in defence."
