     Rigorous dogmas never crystalized, command centers and courts never formed; traditions spontaneously became firmer: an inclination to beautiful natural things and people, an inclination to conserve and protect them, walks in nature, swimming, practice of intelligent games (Go, Chess, Bridge, Backgammon, puzzles ...), vegetarianism, a refusal of ephemeral fads.
