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.

China: Former Shaolin Head Monk – Shi Yongxin – Recent Developments! (28.7.2026)

The Shaolin Temple was founded by visiting Indian monks to China long before Bodhidharma arrived (in 528 CE), Sitting and clearing the mind has always been the primary skill. However, many other temples and spiritual centres also combine seated meditation with “moving” meditation in the form of martial endeavour (it is even hinted at in the Book of Change). Although the Shaolin Temple is famous – it is in no way the only place martial arts are practiced for health and self-defence. Master Xu Yun changed the law in China by integrating the Vinaya Discipline with Chinese Secular Law. Failing to uphold the Vinaya Discipline is tantamount to breaking the law. What is happening to the former Head Monk of Shaolin – Shi Yongxin – is entirely due to the legal reforms that Xu Yun initiated in the early 1950s as a means to protect China from going down the Japanese path of abandoning the upholding of the Vinaya Discipline. The above translation (click picture link) gives all the recent developments in this fascinating case.

Russian Fencer - World Champion - Pavel Graudins

Hong Kong: Great Russian Fencer – Pavel Graudins – Wins World Championship! (28.7.2026)

Russia – and the Soviet Union – gave the World Proletariat hope! When I was a child, I saw a TV programme which featured Lenin stood on an old cart saying that all exploitation, oppression, and injustices were now over!. I was around ten-years old at the time and yet it is a pivotal moment in my life. I think the BBC had put-out a series called the “People’s Century” – regarding the Socialist Revolutions of the 20th century. The BBC now hides this series as being too left-wing – but I will never forget it. Although the Soviet Revolution ultimately failed – and modern Russia is now capitalist – I still have a soft-spot i my heart for all things “Russians”. Russia is dialectically correct to fight Neo-Nazism in Ukraine – a disgusting ideology instilled by the odious Obama Administration! Well-done Russia – there are millions who love you around the world – and over a billuon in China! North Koreans have shed their blood for you. Please help Cuba if you can!

Experts Believe Tel-Aviv is Behind Polanski Debacle!

UK: Zia Yusuf – “Calling for Beheading of Nigel Farage – Incitement to Murder!” (28.7.2026)

In a post on X, the Metropolitan Police said: “We received a third-party report relating to an image shared on social media. We take reports of this nature extremely seriously, and officers are conducting enquiries into the matter.”

The words “We’re only making plans for Nigel” are the same as the lyrics of a 1979 song by band XTC.

The Green Party spokesperson said: “Zack condemns the image on the T-shirt. He was tagged in a post with 20 images and clicked accept without realising there was more to it than he had seen.

“The T-shirt is clearly in poor taste, especially at a time of heightened fears for the security of public figures, having experienced multiple threats himself.

“He and the Green Party call on everyone involved in public discourse to show kindness and not encourage more division.”

The BBC understands Polanski has not been contacted by police.

Natural Resources for Medical Tourism in DPRK

DPRK: North Korea Possesses Many Natural Resources for Medical Tourism! (28.7.2026)

Today, the working British people pay for the NHS through taxation – but receive very little for their money. Only recently arrived migrants (who have never contributed) receive full and free healthcare because the Human Rights Act demands they be treated this way. This is a sure way of destroying a Socialist medical system – as those British without care envy and resent those recent arrivals who receive the highest levels of care. Although the answer should be to return the NHS to “care” over “cost” – this will not happen as the onus is always toward capitalism. When migrants arrived in the 1960s, everyone – British or not – received the highest quality of care on the NHS. Medical treatment only becomes an issue when it is rationed. Of course, I do not know whether the DPRK will charge for medical care – this is an issue I need to research further. Considering how many sanctions are applied to the DPRK by the West – I suppose it would be “just” to charge Europeans – although not strictly speaking acting in accordance with the spirit of Socialism! Medical treatment should be of the highest quality and free for all at the point of use.

Glastonbury Tor - Spiritual Centre of England!

UK: My Father’s “Celtic Cross” Has Arrived! (27.7.2026)

I ordered this sometime ago from a small business in the UK – who sent me a wonderful postcard of Glastonbury and a bundle of free incense. Although we are modern people – and not religious – we may be described as “spiritual”. The Celtic Cross, I believe, is pre-Christian, and that the Christians may have encountered it amongst the Pagans – and decided to co-opt it into their religion. All the Celtic Cross means is that the seasons (in the Western-world) are separated into four-seasons. The cross represents this – and this only. A cross like this can be found within Viking and Anglo-Saxon cultures. Christians, for centuries, used two-fishes, and an “X” with a “P” (a Greek character) – and various other symbols (Christ is depicted as using a “wand” at one-point) – but never a “croos”.
