Mission (Shiming)¶
A mission (浣垮懡, sh矛m矛ng) is the purpose of existence assigned and defined by a higher-level being to the life it creates; it is both an objective stipulation of cosmic order and the fundamental reason a soul descends to the human world, shaping its path toward eventual return to a higher life-space.
