Peace will reign throughout the land, and prosperity will visit more than just a few. Arts and crafts will flourish, and many masters will appear. Some of them, after some \"black ships\" have appeared, will even take the Dharma to a land called \"America\" where it will be accepted by many. There was more....Ah, yes. He told me about a martial art called \"boxing\" where an \"Ali\"(?) would tell people with ears to listen about not wasting precious cargo.\"
