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.

UK: Visiting St Vedast-Alias-Foster Church Courtyard! (15.8.2026)

This is why some of us can still speak the old language of “Gaelic” or Gallic”. We win in the end by absorbing all these foreigners and turning them into Celts. Every invader has lost their distinctiveness over time and became “us”. Just as I am a Hakka-Celt – my Chinese family Celtic Hakka! We are explorers who like finding old and unusual things. Well, today we discovered the remarkable Courtyard of St Vedast-Alias-Foster (this French Saint was born c, 453 CE – but the church was built in the 12th century by Flemish migrants – possibly on the site of older Celtic churches) – the address being: 4 Foster Lane, London EC2V 6HH. It was rebuilt and redesigned by Sir Christopher Wren around 1670 – having suffered damage during the 1666 Great Fire of London. What is the Courtyard today used to be part of the church’s graveyard. The church was built is in the style of English Baroque architecture.

UK: Burnham’s Labour Continues “Stealth Shutting-Down” of Socialist NHS – as Prostrate Cancer Treatment Cut! (15.8.2026)

15/08/2026 Adrian (釋大道)

The shutting-down of a “free at use” NHS requires the New Labour government to keep encouraging the importation of migrant labour – whilst simultaneously bleating-on in Parliament that it is trying to “do something about it”. Do you know, I was part of the “LEXIT” (hard-left) “left Out of the EU” campaign for precisely this reason. Many unions backed LEXIT as did many non-White British workers – as this is NOT about race – but ALL workers’ rights! In many meetings I saw, non-White (British) workers gave speeches about how unfamiliar foreign communities had sprung-up, took-over areas, and aggressively competed for housing and work. Why? Just so our Socialist system can be dismantled and sold to the US? I met some of these new arrivals and by and large they were good people – the victims of post-1991 (Soviet-collapse) capitalism (the US again). Most told me that life was good under the Soviet system – but now it was terrible under capitalism. The US has injected far-right ideology into Eastern Europe to prevent what it fears will be a resurgence of Soviet Socialism. We should be “comrades” and not “competitors”! Without properly funded and empowered unions all over Europe (the EU must go) – the workers are reduced to scrambling individuals fighting desperately for scraps from the master’s table.

China Has Explored the Celestial Realms for Thousands of Years!

China: Ancient Astronomical Instruments Draw Museum-Goers to Cosmic Quest! (15.8.2026)

15/08/2026 Adrian (釋大道)

HEFEI, Aug. 14 (Xinhua) — China’s museums are often defined by their porcelain, calligraphy and ritual vessels. But a new exhibition in east China’s Anhui Province is turning the spotlight away from traditional treasures and toward scientific endeavors of the past, showcasing jade cosmograms, celestial star charts and bronze globes crafted by astronomers centuries ago.

Titled “Divine-Sky Exploration: The Cosmological Vision of Chinese Civilization,” the exhibition at the Anhui Museum brings together nearly 300 artifacts from 48 institutions nationwide. It is a rare exhibition in China focused specifically on presenting the country’s “understanding of the universe” through cultural relics.

Since its launch in July, the show has drawn some 350,000 visitors, fascinated by the instruments ancient Chinese used to observe, measure and pay homage to the universe.

China: Paralyzed Patient Undergoes First “Invasive Brain-Computer Interface” Surgery at Tongji Medical College! (14.8.2026)

The patient, identified by the pseudonym Hu Damin, has been bedridden for two years following a spinal cord injury. Doctors implanted eight ultraflexible electrodes into her motor cortex. Each electrode, dozens of times thinner than a human hair, can capture neural signals linked to her intention to move.

The BCI system is designed to bypass the damaged spinal cord and translate brain signals into commands for devices such as computer cursors, smartphones and wheelchairs. Through rehabilitation training, doctors hope to help her regain fine motor functions in her upper limbs.

The implanted device is reportedly China’s first high-throughput BCI product capable of recording single-neuron-level signals and has been recognized as an innovative medical device by the National Medical Products Administration.

Gazza Scores A Beautiful Goal For Gansu Tianma in His First Game!

China: 26-Years Ago – Paul Gascoigne – Played Four Football Games & Scored 2-Goals In-Front of 30,000 Fans in Gansu – Then Suddenly Left! (13.8.2026)

14/08/2026 Adrian (釋大道)

The above article is full of hope and love for Paul Gascoigne and the “Gansu Divine-Sky Horses” – the struggling Chinese football team Gazza was contracted to play for. Gazza’s playing career spanned 19-years between 1985-2004. Many English football stars – as they are so much more skilled than the average footballer – tend to play abroad for a time in their latter career before taking jobs as coaches, trainers, and media commentators, etc. Gazza avoided most of this and experienced very public battles with addiction and psychological issues. This is all a matter of public record. As Gazza suffered endless injuries as his body aged rapidly (compounded by the effects of alcohol) – his options for foreign playing were highly limited. In many ways, Gazza was lucky for the opportunity China gave him – and to this day he has never uttered a word of gratitude. This is the way things are – and there is reason to sugar-coat it. Watching the films of Gazza at his peak – there is no doubt he was one of the best players in the world. Even at the other end of his playing-career – the Chinese people were grateful he had chosen to play in their country. I think the BBC paid Gazza for an exclusive documentary about his time in China. It could be that he stayed long enough for the BBC cheque to clear before leaving – and never intended to stay in China – or help their football game develop.

India: Fascist BJP [Anti-China] Racism Displayed in “Anti-Intellectual” Tome! (13.8.2026)

13/08/2026 Adrian (釋大道)

If this is what these idiots are writing in English – what are they writing in Hindi? These Western “wannaby” Hindu-fascists and Neo-Nazis – about 10% of the Indian population (those that can read and write) – live in gated communities but deceive the illiterate 90% of India into mistakenly thinking that karma is their dharma! No. Being the anti-intellectual lapdog of the US is not a good look (just look at the highly negative attitudes Westerners have to Indian migrants) – but these degenerates are so inverted in their outlook that they are not even aware of just how stupid they look to the rest of the world. Even the ridiculous author of this piece admits (in the last paragraph effectively contradicting his own assertions) – that the Indian Army – (that is the Army of India – his own country) – “denies” any and all allegations he has just made in the body of the article. The reality is that the 90% of illiterate India desperately need a Socialist Revolution to throw-off the yoke of US Imperialism and the utter stupidity of Hindu Nationalism. Meanwhile, the BJP morons better hope and pray that the PLA does not really come over the border and teach the Indians yet another “1962-Style” military lesson once again!
