丹轮寺——均衡
「众众沉沦生死海，坠渊恶道困焚宅。三毒四苦唯心造，痴塑泥胎坐玉台。」
——持戒师，摩腾
在漫长的丰饶民战争中，一群步离人厌倦了无休止的征战与杀戮。他们认为众生的苦难源于「丰饶」与「巡猎」的失衡。自药师登神以来，「丰饶」的影响日益扩大，致使生命轮回的均衡受到动摇——他们相信「巡猎」的诞生是一种必然，是受此失衡所迫。于是这群步离人放下信仰，脱离战群，建立了「丹轮寺」。
丹轮寺是一幢飘游天外的寺院建筑。他们出现在任何一场与丰饶之民有关的战争中，收敛遗骨、超度逝者。一些被捡走的孤儿会成长为丹轮寺的僧侣，再次投身于这项事业中。
丹轮寺的僧众亦将「均衡」互视作一位伟大的先行者，而非指引人世的神明。在教理中，他们始终对星神这一存在保持距离——诞生自「丰饶」和「巡猎」夹缝中的丹轮寺坚信，贯彻极端意志的星神定会将宇宙推向失衡的深渊。
在三个琥珀纪的和平活动后，丹轮寺的僧侣虽仍以步离人占绝对多数，却也吸纳了许多不同种族的开悟者。无论是仙舟人、造翼者、慧骃，还是智械，只要有志于终结这场无止境的血火轮回，便可受戒成为丹轮寺的僧侣。
丹轮寺的僧侣需佩戴「持戒丹轮」，以此恪守五大戒律：不害、不衍、不贪、不嗔、不放逸。不过，那些德行崇高的僧侣往往并不在身上佩戴持戒丹轮——他们的丹轮早已刻在心中。
"Humankind flounders in the ocean of life and death, as wickedness and evil deeds lead to the abyss of flames. All suffering is created solely by the mind, and obsession and desire make earthen idols thus divine."
— Ordained monk, Matanga
During the long and drawn-out Denizens of Abundance Wars, a group of borisin grew weary of the endless conquest and slaughter. They believed that the universe's suffering was born of an imbalance between Abundance and The Hunt. Ever since Yaoshi ascended to divinity, the influence of Abundance expanded by the day, causing the balance of life's cycle to be shaken. They believe that the birth of the Hunt is an inevitable necessity driven forth by this imbalance. So, these borisin abandoned their faith and their war packs to establish the Claretwheel Temple.
Claretwheel Temple is a temple complex floating in the universe. They would appear during any war related to the Denizens of the Abundance, collecting the remains of the deceased and delivering their souls to the eternal beyond. Some war orphans taken away by them would go on to become Claretwheel Temple monks and devote themselves to continuing this cause.
The monks of Claretwheel Temple also regard HooH the Equilibrium as a great forerunner instead of a god who guides the people of this world. The monks always maintain some distance from the concept of Aeons in their teachings — As the Claretwheel Temple's faith was born from the cracks between Abundance and The Hunt, the Temple believes that Aeons, as beings that exercise the extremes of a singular concept, will surely push the universe into the abyss of imbalance.
After three Amber Eras of peaceful activity, the Claretwheel Temple monks have included enlightened practitioners of many different races, although the borisin still constituted the absolute majority. It did not matter if one were a citizen of Xianzhou, a Wingweaver, a Houyhnhnm, or an Intellitron — so long as one wishes to bring this ceaseless cycle of war and bloodshed to an end, one could become an ordained monk of Claretwheel Temple.
The monks of Claretwheel Temple are required to wear a Claretwheel Ring, as a symbol of their vow to abide by the five major precepts: To do no harm, no deception, no greed, no anger, and no indulgence. However, the esteemed monks who had mastered these teachings no longer wear such rings — their rings are already engraved into their hearts.
