The Sangha Kommune (僧伽公社) – A Place of Spiritual and Physical Growth! (Founded 16.2.2010)

The Chinese Buddhist monastic community is referred to as a ‘Sangha’ (Sanskrit for ‘spiritual community’), whereby men and women form a voluntary association premised upon following a strict set of rules known as the ‘Vinaya Discipline’. Within this community, there is ‘equality’ between all members, with the leaders being those who have followed these rules for the longest times. This is because such people are thought to have more experience at adhering to the Vinaya Discipline (which includes celibacy and vegetarianism), and are therefore able to effectively advise all others through the difficult times they my face in their practice. As those with little experience have less to share, they are not considered leaders whilst more experienced practitioners live in the vicinity.

Rohan Rane at his trial in a Paris court

UK: Media “Silent” About Hindu Child-Grooming Gang Operating in Britain! (9.10.2026)

A 29-year-old Indian man faces a verdict Friday in a Paris trial over his alleged involvement in an international criminal network that targeted vulnerable children in the U.S., Britain and Canada and coerced them into producing violent and sexual videos.

The child victims were recruited via the online platform Discord to become “slaves” to a group known as CVLT, according to court documents in the case obtained by The Associated Press. At least three other members of the group have been arrested in the U.S.

Rohan Rane, allegedly one of the international online group’s leaders, has been on trial this week in Paris on charges including torture of minors, extortion, corrupting minors online and distributing child sex images.

Judges ordered the trial held behind closed doors in a rare move because the case involves abuse of children. Rane faces up to 20 years in prison in France if convicted.

US Army major to be executed by firing squad

US: Trump Orders “Public Execution” of Army Major! (9.10.2026)

The Army announced this week that the execution would take place at Fort Hood on Dec. 3 after Hasan was convicted of killing 13 people and injuring 32 others in a shooting at the military base in 2009.

Hegseth, speaking to the conservative TV outlet Real America’s Voice on Wednesday, said, “We’ll make sure that people are able to watch it, that it’s public.” Officials in the Pentagon clarified Thursday that the execution would be livestreamed and that more details would follow.

The revelation from Hegseth about the public nature of the execution — let alone one as violent as a firing squad — has raised further questions about how the death penalty is carried out in the U.S., especially after the botched lethal injection of Christa Pike in Tennessee.

Brushing Away Capitalist Greed!

BMA (UK) – The Bhikkhu Must Transcend Religiosity! (8.10.2026)

The manner in which bhikkhus should teach humanity is through the understanding that all examplies of language and culture, regardless of how necessary they may seem, are nevertheless purely “expedient”. The use of language (including translation) must be “precise” and “accurate” so that the Dhamma is correctly transmitted. All language is a “raft” designed to reach the other shore – it serves no other function. If members of the Sangha become “attached” to the prevailing culture from which they emerged – then they are violating the rules contained within the Vinaya Discipline. Congregating around a cultural-bias is one-sided and exclusionary. Narrowing the scope of the Dhamma hinders its enlightening function and distorts its meaning. A bhikkhu is a beggar and not a film star or representative of the culture that gave birth to him. This is not to say that the bhikkhu should reject the culture within which he arose – but at the sametime the bhikkhu should remain “non-attached” to his mind, body, and environment.

Analysts identified features of Beagle 2 in photos of Mars

UK: The Story of Mars-Probe – “Begale 2” – a Very British Story of Glorious Failure! (8.10.2026)

Professor Colin Pillinger was the driving force behind a mini “British Space Programme” that would have rivelled the Soviet imitative – and defied the US domination of the time (2003). We were staying with my parents in Torquay during the Xmas season of 2003 – and we kept the radio on through the night to listen to live coverage – to be part of the “British” probe landing on Mars! As Beagle 2 approached Mars all was fine – but as it came down to land – all suddenly went “silent”. For months afterwards there was speculation – but no answers. Then, in 2014, a US probe discovered a partly “landed” Beagle 2 – which seemed to have deployed – but only after trapping its only aerial (preventing all communication). Professor Colin Pillinger had passed-away just 8-months before his space-machine was discovered – and proven to have been mostly successful. Someone commented to me that this was like “Dunkirk” all-over again! We can take it.
