SANGHA KOMMUNE (SSR)

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

28/03/2017 Adrian (釋大道)

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.

China and the DPRK are friendly socialist neighbours linked by mountains and rivers, said Li, adding that at present, under the strategic guidance of the top leaders of the two parties and countries, China-DPRK relations are entering a new stage and opening a new chapter. Xi has pointed out that no matter how the international landscape evolves, the firm position of China’s Party and government to attach great importance to the traditional friendship between China and the DPRK will remain unchanged; the firm support for Kim in leading the DPRK’s socialist cause will remain unchanged; and the determination to safeguard the common interests of both sides and maintain a favorable strategic environment will remain unchanged, said Li.

Cuba Citizems Responsible for Sexual Health

Cuba: STIs, HIV & Hepatitis Prevention Programmes – Knowledge is Power! (15.10.2026)

Dr. Romero Placeres highlighted the importance of these services for key populations, such as men who have sex with men (MSM) and the trans population, although he insisted that they are not the only ones. “There are people who do not consider themselves MSM or trans and do not attend these services thinking that they do not have the possibility to do so; however, anyone who has substantial risk related to sexually transmitted infections can attend these sentinel sites,” he said. The work in these spaces, he said, has made it possible to identify a greater number of cases, confirm them and treat them properly.

UK: Emergency Self-Ordination in the Chinese Vinaya Discipline! (14.10.2026)

14/10/2026 Adrian (釋大道)

Of course, the laity has a more superficial relationship with the Vinaya Discipline – and the Buddha taught soldiers, prostitutes, butchers, and even murderers, amongst many others. The Buddhist rules are NOT punishments inflicted by a disembodied sky-spirit (theistic god entity) – but exists to guide the psychological and physical energy that comprises an individual. The Buddha was scientific in that he emphasised cause and effect. We are responsible for the way we experience the inner (psychological) or outer (material) world. If you are happy suffering the consequences of the manner in which you live – and you never complain to anyone else about it – then why bother inflicting this form of Buddhist self-discipline upon yourself? There is no point. There are all kinds of reasons why people pursue the lives they do – and this is nothing to do with others – as we possess our own unique karma. Finally, status-hunting in the West – pretending to be a bhikkhu or being a genuine bhikkhu for the wrong reasons – is an offence and will bring its own hellish karma. The Vinaya Discipline is a very powerful and life-affirming vehicle that permits an individual to meet each manifestation of life with tranquillity and wisdom (in-depth).

Laos: DPRK Celebrates 81st Anniversary of “Workers’ Party of Korea” – “National Defence Revolution Museum” Inaugurated! (14.10.2026)

14/10/2026 Adrian (釋大道)

Kim Jong Un cut the inauguration ribbon and toured the exhibits. Reflecting on the arduous path of modernising the Juche-oriented defence industry, he described the museum as an immortal archive demonstrating how the dignity, security, and peace of the DPRK are defended.

He praised the current level of the defence industry as the zenith of glory and honour, achieved through the tenacity, patriotism, and loyalty of a people who unconditionally supported the WPK’s self-defence policies despite severe trials.

He affirmed that building the world’s most powerful defence industry is the WPK’s inherent obligation to protect the destiny of its people. Furthermore, he declared that the nation’s powerful Juche-based weaponry will continue to evolve, dramatically elevating the country’s global position, while the museum itself will expand over time.

USSR: Debunking the False Idea of a Late-1930s Anti-Chinese Purge! (13.10.2026)

13/10/2026 Adrian (釋大道)

The message is this – the workers do not possess the ability (or right) to rule themselves. This idea is routinely hurled at Communist China on a daily basis by Western racists – my partner is subjected to it in her workplace and my daughters in their school. For the ethnic Chinese the problem is two-fold – they are the wrong “race” and the wrong “class” – a double-whammy. During the UK, US, and German invasion of Revolutionary Russia between 1918-1921 (a process of unbridled aggression that involved around 20-countries – which killed 10.5 million Russians) – Nationalist China sided with the West and sent troops to the Chinese border with Russia (Vladivostok). Indeed, following the 1917 Revolution – the conditions for Chinese workers living in Russia improved dramatically – with many workers returning to China carrying Socialist ideas (Lenin even had a personal bodyguard comprised of Chinese martial artists).
