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.

Happy Chinese New Year - 2026-4724!

UK: Our Chinese New Year Cards & Coins [2026-4724]! (17.2.2026)

The Trump II era is currently pumping-out the propaganda that “Chinese New Year” is NOT “Chinese” (i.e. not relatable to the 1.8 billion people who inhabit Mainland China) – but is in fact merely the “Lunar New Year” which belongs to everyone but the “Chinese”. Apparently, whilst using coded messaging in the mainstream press suggesting that “old” and “oppressive” regimes should be “overthrown” – the US anti-intellectualism that controls the White House does not seem to realise that there are MANY “lunar” calendar that do not align with the Chinese version (the Buddhist and Mohammedans are two examples). Ironically, within China there are both Buddhists and Muslims who celebrate the Chinese New Year – because they are “Chinese”. Outside of China, Muslims tend to reject anything not permitted by their religious leaders – although Buddhists are far more flexible (as they do not worship an “imagined” theistic entity). The point of Chinese New Year is to share the joy of this “Spring Festival” as traditionally people looked forward to a new rice-crop that would sustain the nation!

A study out of Japan showed how targeting genes can regrow teeth in animals. Now, the team has turned to a human clinical trial.

Japan: Humans Have a “Latent” Third Set of Teeth – New Medicine May Help Them Grow By 2030! (17.2.2026)

Teeth are a curious evolutionary life-over from when the average life-expectancy of a human-being was around “20-years-old” or perhaps a little older (early humans used to breed in there early teens due to a very narrow fertility window). However, as human intelligence grew, and human labour made life less difficult – the life-expectancy slowly creeped-up – but teeth development appears to have lagged behind. Far behind – in fact. We can live to 80 – but our teeth give-up the ghost at about 20 – or at least they would without modern dentistry and regular cleaning. Remember – you can die from an infected tooth – so look after yourselves!

Happy Chinese New Year of the Double (Red) Fire Horse!

UK: ICBI Chinese New Year Message – Lunar Spring Festival – 4724! (17.2.2026)

As compassion and loving kindness grows and is magnified through the more people it is shared with – these statements act as “ripples” of positive energy emanating that traverse through the portals of the past, present, and future – excluding none and embracing all! Of course, the Buddha defined the human mind as being that capacity which can perceive the present, recall the past, and plan for the future. This is a remarkable observation. What the Ch’an School offers, infused as it is with the thinking associated with Confucianism – and the far older “Book of Change” – is that the mind should a) be “stilled” (realising a relative emptiness), b) a product of purifying all vestiges of greed, hatred, and delusion, and c) and in so-doing experiencing the expansion of this “emptiness” realisation into an “all-embracing” reality.

My Musings On An Important Topic - FULL ARTICLE HERE!

BMA (UK): On Why The Communist Party Should Recognise the Revolutionary Nature of Genuine Buddhism! (16.2.2026)

The point is that even if the brutal capitalists take everything away from the workers (even their clothes) and lock each individual in a cell – this is the ideal conditions for in-depth meditation practice. Nothing can stop a Buddhist so committed – and it is time that the Communist Parties of the world acknowledge the importance of the Buddhist Revolutionary Method! Finally, when studying “Philosophy of Mind” I was introduced to the Western idea that the “mind” does “not exist”. Due to thousands of years of theistic theology – the West was deluded into thinking that the mind equals the disembodied spirit – and that both were “separate” from the body.

Why Does the far-Right Use Rotersand's Music"

Germany: Rotersand – “We Will K’ll Them All” – Why Does the Far-Right Use this Track? (16.2.2026)

This is the comment I left on the website carrying the “Rotersand” interview featured below: “Many of the English-speaking far-right (Neo-Fascist and Neo-Nazi) groups throughout the West – routinely utilise the Rotersand (2009) track “We Shall Kill Them All” as an “anthem” – interpreting the lyrics as being aimed at the political left and any centralised resistance to their destructive agenda. Indeed, this association is so common that I am astonished that this point of enquiry was not raised and discussed in this article. This association is dangerous – as the structure of this track is “catchy” and easily rememberable. There are endless unofficial far-right videos – being shared throughout the internet (primarily by the young of many countries) – that carefully splice black and white footage of WWII-era footage of Hitler, Mussolini, and various aspects of that tumultuous conflict – all from the perspective of Fascism and Nazism. What is the viewpoint of the group-members of – Rotersand – to this disturbing development? From the content of the interview contained in this – the band remains oblivious to this disturbing co-option – if indeed it is a co-option

UK: How to Get “Banned” from the US – Deluxe Edition! (15.2.2026)

I am told that I am not only permanently “banned” from ALL US-controlled social media – but a warm cell awaits me if I dare to leave the safety UK sovereign shores. However, if the right kind of government somehow manages to acquire power in the UK – this situation might deteriorate rapidly – and it will be off to Cuba for me! Of course, I could go to North Korea or China – but I would have to traverse many unfriendly territories – and as I am not the wanted War Criminal Benjamin Netanyahu – the chances are I will be detained even though I have committed no crime. We are the Red Devils and we are dialectically seeping into the cracks of the predatory capitalist system!
