K'ao Hsin, K’ao Hsin/Xena and others in “Purity”

K'ao Hsin

"The entire world is driven by a will-- "blind and ruthless. "In order to transcend the limitations of the physical world, one must cease desiring,

-and become what we desire.

Xena

"To conquer others is to wield power. But to conquer ourselves is to know the way." Lao Ma's power came from her purity of thought.

K’ao Hsin

Then with purity on our side, Pao Ssu will be easily defeated.

Xena

No. Pao Ssu has her own kind of purity. The purity of hatred.
