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.

“It does have beautiful illustrations in it and some pages that fold out to show you they were using exact measurements of some of the monuments in Greece.”

She said in 1872, the council got a £200 grant to establish the town’s library and and it had fewer than 1,000 books in its collection, with the overdue book marked as number 506.

There’s no way to know exactly who borrowed the book or when, Hudson said, as the library’s borrowing records from that period have since been lost.

However, the book is no longer available to borrow, having been added to the library’s collection of special items, which can be viewed on request.

“It won’t be able to go out again… we don’t want to wait another 150 years for it to come back,” Hudson joked.

As for the book’s much-delayed return, Simmons said he believes his great-grandfather would be pleased with the final chapter of its journey.

“I think he’d be happy to see the book returned and he’d probably have a bit of a laugh about it.”

UK: I Once Ran a Half-Marathon over 1 Hr 40 Mins [13.25 Miles] in Hereford During the 1980s – and Neither of My Legs Were Broken! (8.8.2026)

I was born in Oxford (Hitler bombed my mother’s family out of working-class Lewisham in 1940) – and I love the history and “learning” associated with the place (I can walk around with a book about Marx on open display and no one bats an eyelid). I did attend Oxford – but I paid to do so – as I could not attain a place due to my own limitations when I was young. It just so happened that my intellectual abilities matured at the same time when I experienced a decade of wealth. Although Oxford does discriminate, I “paid” to access a “Philosophy of Mind” course – which I passed despite not fitting-in (I was in my late 30s at the time and was surrounded by BBC executives, Guardian Reporters, and UN employees – but my family was proud). However, I was told a story of a young woman who was born into a poor working-class family and brought-up on a housing estate.

Socialist science is superior as it rejects the “inverted” bases of the bourgeois system – whilst dismantling the internal barriers that maintain racism, discrimination, and oppression. Lenin predicted that without much more effort other than simply re-orientating the creative powers inherent within the working-class – the Soviet Union would rapidly develop, catch-up with the West, and soon transcend its capitalist achievements. This is why Lenin advised that all men, women, and children should sit down in the kitchen, discuss ideas designed to make society better, and communicate these ideas to the Authorities. Working-class science emanates-out from below – originating from within the ranks of the proletariat (those who have nothing to sell but their labour – or bodily movement). Yes – workers can become “experts” in scientific endeavours – but they cannot exclude the lumpen proletariat from its creative process. Bourgeois academia, by way of contrast, is elitist and exists as an oppressive “top-down” process. By comparison, working-class science is “up-lifting” and “inspirational” – as can be seen from the contents of the below article!

BMA-UK: The Buddha – Gender Fluid or Gender Irrelevant? (6.8.2026)

Of course, even in Shakespeare’s time in England – men dressed as women because women were not permitted to act on the stage. The Vinaya Discipline seeks to completely “cut-off” all sexual activity in the environment, body, and mind. This includes heterosexual, homosexual, and beastiality. This is what a Buddhist monastic is expected to follow – whilst a lay-person may get married and have children – providing there is an element of sexual control. This often comes down to use in the West as “No Adultery” – but in the old Pali Suttas, it is explained in a slightly different manner. In the time of the Buddha, a rich lay-man could marry up to four wives – and as it was the Hindu custom for a man to marry sisters – the Buddha advised that “control” in this instance was not to engage in sexual activity with anyone outside his wife’s family. Replacing this with “Adultery” is a clear example of how the bourgeois (Christian) West has tinkered with Asian Buddhism – and attempted to alter its essential nature. Adultery in the monogamous (modern) West is not the same as adultery in polygamous (ancient) India.

There's Nothing Suspicious About the Syrian Social Nationalist Party Flag!

Perhaps the most damning piece of evidence is the “flag” – as it is clearly a modified Nazi German Swastika. Remember, Hitler was popular (and still is) amongst a certain strand of Muslim – who support his anti-Semitism. Indeed, the first military action taken together as allies between the UK and the USSR in 1941 – was to invade a pro-Hitler Iran. After 1991, the US encouraged in Russia a “National Bolshevik” movement – which falsely assumed that there was no difference between these two ideologies (both assumed to be far-right). The flag has the background of the Nazi equivalent – with a hammer and sickle placed in the white circle – replacing the swastika. The US flooded the post-Soviet space with far-right rhetoric and extremist religious movements between 1991-2001 as a means to break-up Socialist thinking and ideology. It was only the political rise of Putin that put a stop to this.

PFLP: Iranian victory & Zionist-American Defeat – an Analyse – By Ahmed Ghanoumi! (7.8.2026)

If we follow Trump’s statements, we find that he has declared victory in every declaration, and all that remains is for him to end Persian civilization and return Iran to the Stone Age, echoing the threats made by Zionist terrorists Ben-Gvir and Smotrich against Lebanon. And if you watched Netanyahu speaking about changing the face of the Middle East, you would have noticed how the “leaders of the world” were scratching their heads.

But Iran’s steadfastness and unity, and the losses suffered by its enemies, forced them to retreat and try to regroup before a defeat even more severe than the monthly defeat in Vietnam. Trump and Netanyahu decided to withdraw from this war under the pressure of Iranian missiles and rising oil prices, which led to the Republican Party’s decline to its lowest popularity in opinion polls, especially since anti-war voices began to rise from the leaders of this party, not to mention the opposition of the Democratic Party.
