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.

UK: My Latest “Taiji” Translations – Free to Access! (19.5.2-26)

I will add to this content as time goes by. Indeed, I am working on this section of the Ch’an Dao website and look forward to tackling some of these obscure texts. Many of the commercially available translations are far too generic and watered-down by indifferent publishers who are trying to seek the greatest number of sales from each investment. Such tomes are misleading the average Western-reader and I intend to remedy this situation. My translations are straightforward, literal, and convey the original meaning. I could not care less about “sales” or making translations easy to access due to the reader being lazy. No. If I can do all the work translating – then the price I charge the reader is that they make an intellectual effort to meet me half-way. In this way we all learn. Publishers are capitalist scum – so there you have it. The words belong to the masses – so use them!

CSA: Celebrating the Confederate 1862 “Liberation” of Maryland from Lincoln’s Tyranny! (19.5.2026)

I am blessed to have been born a free Englishman. British academics are the best in the world when not under duress from oppressive governments. I have piles of English books written fairly about the Confederacy – a movement I believe would have led to a “Socialist” North America if it ha prevailed. The CSA would now be supplying the Comrade-State of Cuba (instead of killing it through sanctions), rewarding a Socialist Cina, Vietnam, Laos, Venezuela and Iran – whilst blockading what is left of the Federal States for their greed and belligerence toward Socialist States. The Native Americans would have their own Independent country in what is now the Western United States – free of Eurocentric interference – whilst the State of Israel would be in a remote area of Brazil with “Zionism” being outlawed as a form of Jewish-derived “White Supremacy” (see the 1975 UN Resolution) and the subsequent ICC and ICJ Declamations regarding the Zionist Genocide in Gaza, Lebanon, and Iran. South Africa would be rewarded for holding Israel accountable for its Crimes Against Humanity and Trotskyism (as a right-wing attack on Marxist-Leninism) would be an imprisonable deviation. Thank you to the Confederate soldiers who gave their lives in pursuit of a higher freedom!

Fifth National Exercise for the Prevention and Confrontation of Crime, Corruption, Drugs, Illegalities and Social Indiscipline

Cuba: Actions Intensify to Prevent & Confront US-Inspired Crime! (19.5.2026)

There is a US-financed (it is all about money – and has always been about money for the Yankee Imperialists) Fifth Column operating within the Cuban Mainland. These individual men and women have secret ties to the US government which rewards their families living in the US and guarantees an affluent retirement when their destructive work is over. The propaganda against Socialist Cuba is seen everywhere in the West – even fictitious crime-dramas like “Dexter” – which whilst conveying the psychopathic tendencies of a forensic expert working for the police, still manages to present “Cuba” (and “Cubans”) as being hopelessly impoverished and just waiting for an opportunity of literally “throwing” their immaciated bodies into the sea and somehow “floating” to US shores (where Dexter is waiting to kill the survivors and stockpile their remains in a convenient warehouse). This is not an exaggerated racist trope – and we had to stop watching (consuming) this show as a protest. Cuban sportspeople – often dominant Boxers – are portrayed as drug-riddled lunatics who win not because Socialism generates a superior person – but because their system is deficient and insane. Alice is definitely “Through tthe Looking Glass”.

US Delegation "Dumps" Chinese Gifts in Bin!

China: Trump Entourage Commits Act of Racist Disrespect at Airport! (18.5.2026)

Gooding’s original text reads: “It is forbidden to carry any items from China on the plane. We are about to take off for the United States. ” The key to the impact of this incident is not whether it is “right” or wrong, but rather the context in which it occurred. The Chinese side had just completed the send-off ceremony at the airport, designed to grant the highest form of “face” to the US. This involved a 21-Gun Salute, Honour Guards of the Three Services, a Red Carpet, State Banquets, and visits to the Temple of the Divine-Sky. A few minutes after this display of Chinese respect for America, the same group of people (the Americans) stood in front of the boarding-ladder and threw everything given by Chinese-side into the rubbish-bin (one by one). This cruel act of disrespect was performed in-front of the general public and designed to attract the maximum Press coverage – sending a clear message of US disrespect for China.

Fidel Signs Land Reform!

Cuba: 67-Years Ago – Fidel Signed First “Land-Reform Law”! (18.5.2026)

And he concluded his speech on that historic day with “the infinite satisfaction of having fulfilled one more promise, of having contributed to making possible the well-being of millions of compatriots who have been suffering in neglect and oblivion, and who were the ones who, in ’68, in ’95, and in this latest liberating struggle, made the greatest sacrifices.”

“It was necessary to write, once and for all in our pure lone star, that formula of the Apostle that the homeland was for everyone and for the good of all.”

The Neanderthal dentist who worked on the 59,000-year-old molar had some experience treating cavities.

Russia: Neanderthals Practiced Dentistry – Infected Teeth Drilled 59,000 Years Ago! (17.5.2026)

Neanderthals were highly creative and resourceful. Living throughout Europe and Asia between 400,000 and 40,000 years ago, they made art, intentionally started fires, took care of their sick and injured peers, created a sticky, multipurpose resin and extracted high-calorie grease from animal bones, to name just a few accomplishments.

Now, new research suggests they may also have dabbled in dentistry. Scientists have discovered a 59,000-year-old Neanderthal molar that appears to have been deliberately drilled to treat a cavity, they report in a new paper published in the journal PLOS One.

The discovery pushes back the earliest evidence of dental work by roughly 45,000 years and adds to the growing body of research that Neanderthals were intelligent, capable hominins.
