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.

Syria Times: US Military “Psychological Operations” & “Weaponising Information” in Support of Global Military Conquest! (19.10.2026)

“Syria was the last nation that America tried to overthrow until Russia and Iran stopped America’s regime change.  From the very beginning we heard the US-NATO- European slogans of saving the Syrian people from President Bashar Al-Assad; and the psychological war that was waged was waged against the American people and the European people.  The purpose was to brainwash the world  into the false understanding that President Bashar Al-Assad was a cruel torture and dictator, which was a complete lie,” Mr. Bennett said.

Chinese Official in London - 1700s

UK: Holborn – Royal College of Surgery – Hunterian Museum! (18.10.2026)

Today, ordinary people can either not access free life-saving operations – or have to wait years to receive the treatment they so desperately need. Meanwhile, the reason waiting lists are so long – and operations difficult to acquire – is because the surgeons chose to privilege fee-paying (private) customers – instead of the general public (who pay their extortionate wages through general taxation). Since New Labour reforms – NHS-trained surgeons operate on the general public between 8am – 1pm – and then use NHS equipment, wards, and operating theatres to operate on private patients between 2pm – 8pm (hence the long waiting times for NHS operations). The later generates millions and is probably why this museum is able to remain “free” to enter. The queuing procedure is rather like trying to gain access to a high-class restaurant – something we would never do. There is even an Eastern European “host” who dresses like a head-waiter and uses structured small-talk to entertain the queue. Waits can be long.

UK: London’s Holborn Viaduct! (18.10.2026)

It seems that London had evolved into to two levels – creating steep inclines and bottle-necks. Movement was inefficient and caused traffic-jams and congestion. The government needed to reduce the ability of workers to come together in ad hoc and agitated groups. Therefore, engineers and architects were tasked with creating sturdy bridges that could handle weight and continuous usage – whilst functioning to link one level of existence to another. In a way, the design – at least the steps – remind me of multi-storey car-parks – although in a much more ornate state. Like the original Tube network – thousands of working-class men (many Irish) – dedicated their lives to building these structures. Of course, these ordinary men (who performed all the labour) are not remembered – but only the middle-class who control the means of production. It is through architecture that the current generation gains an understanding of what physically existed and came before them. Through physical structure – the thoughts that were in the mind of the creators can be seen in stone, wood, and cement. Furthermore, the statues tell something about the values and belief of the time.

Lincoln's Inn - Law School

UK: Kai-Lin Feeds the Birds – Lincoln’s Inn Fields! (18.10.2026)

Whilst traversing to other locations – we discovered “Lincoln’s Inn Fields” – which is a “Park” to you and me. The animals are all very take – which means the local people must be very kind and generous to them. Not only that – but this must have been the case for decades – as squirrels come up to you and try to climb your trouser leg in the hope of acquiring food. I have never seen a “murder” of crows acts so tame before (yes – that is really their collective name) – and co-exist peacefully beside pigeons. Kail-Lin also spotted a mouse at one point. As Buddhist – we are vegetarians and treat all life with respect – particularly innocent animals. Our children exercise loving kindness, compassion, and wisdom toward every animal they meet. All this is moderated trough common-sense.

USSR: There’s Nothing “Gay” About Soviet Fitness & Leisure – Or Is There? (17.10.2026)

This hypocrisy extends to the post-1991 heterosexual pornographic industry (pornography – as a financial exploitation of men and women – did not exist prior to 1991) – which sees men and women engaging in anal sex. As for Soviet history, photographic evidence abounds – with Slavic men acting stand-offish with other women (even their wives) – but warmly embracing and “kissing” other men (even those they do not know). Biographies and diaries of visitors to the USSR often speak of a sexually open mentally (which allowed for State-sponsored race-mixing – and homosexual liaisons providing it was kept “private” and out of the public domain) – albeit contained within the rhetoric of a moral conservatism. Many commentators point-out that a number of Old Bolsheviks were openly “gay” (there are rumours about Lenin being bisexual) – and this might explain why Lenin did not push for a complete ban on homosexuality.
