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: “Bewick’s British Birds” – a Classic Masterpiece! (26.5.2026)

25/05/2026 Adrian (釋大道)

Bewick was the son of a farmer from Tyneside (New Castle-Upon-Tyne) yet he became one of Britain’s greatest and most popular engravers of his time – a true master. His farming parents were wealthy enough to have their son educated (instead of working from an early age) so he was fully literate. As he was not properly middle-class (perhaps a well-off peasant-farmer) he did not attend University, but instead became and Engraving Apprentice at Ralph Beilby’s engraving business at aged 14. This apprenticeship lasted seven-years – permitting him to master every aspect of this trade. Indeed, he became an expert in “woodcut printing” which can be dated back to the 1440 printing-press of Johannes Gutenberg. His masterpiece featured here was first published on October 14th, 1797 – although I think later editions were enlarged and improved. We were lucky in that the cover price is £12.99 – but this copy was on sale for just £4.99!

USSR: Joseph Stalin’s Association with Islam! (25.5.2026)

25/05/2026 Adrian (釋大道)

Whatever the case, children tend to over-simplify the behaviour of their parents – not yet mature enough to understand life and what it does to an individual. To this distorting effect can be added all the lies and disinformation that have been poured upon Stalin. Even when Joseph McCabe wrote his excellent biography of Stalin in 1944 – there had been at least twenty-years of misrepresentation. From this book we learn that his mother was a strict Orthodox Christian (this is never said about his father) and that it is through her influence that Stalin was forced into education and learned to read and write. At fourteen-years of age, his mother enrolled Stalin in a local Seminary School with the intention of him becoming an Orthodox Priest (she had already named him after “St Joseph”). Ironically, it was amongst the students at this ecclesiastic school that he first encountered Marxism as a theory. Stalin entered Seminary at aged fourteen in 1894 – and was expelled in 1899.

Hampshire East: Visiting the Wonderful Bird World! (24.5.2026)

24/05/2026 Adrian (釋大道)

Yes – we drove from Tilford in deepest darkest Surrey – and entered an entirely different area of England. We passed white-clad cricketers playing on the village green (I love cricket – as my fther taught me the rules when young) – meandered down leafy country-lanes and emerged in Hampshire. These areas are very affluent and the Local Council charge high taxes and spend the money to keep tourism to a trickle and ensure a high standard of living for their citizens. Although London is nearby – these “Home Counties” protect their conservative culture and actively work against mass immigration and multiculturalism. Obviously, this type of social engineering does not extend to birds – which tend to have no respect for conservative political views. Birds evolved from Dinosaurs and can fly anywhere and everywhere.

Zionists Murder Gazans During "Ceasefire"!

Human Rights Watch: Israel Prevented Aid – and Deliberately Killed 856 Civilians During “Ceasefire” in Gaza! (24.5.2026)

24/05/2026 Adrian (釋大道)

Human Rights Watch explained that the Board of Peace, authorized under UN Security Council Resolution 2803, is tasked with assessing parties’ compliance with the Comprehensive Plan to End the Gaza Conflict. It stressed that rapidly expanding and safeguarding aid is central to the plan, alongside restoring essential civilian infrastructure. The organization added that aid volumes remain far below required levels and critical humanitarian access routes have been repeatedly obstructed, according to the UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA).

UK: Beautiful Waverly Abbey – Farnham – Revisit! (23.5.2026)

23/05/2026 Adrian (釋大道)

Even when Queen Mary attempted to return the Catholic monastic institutions – the ordinary people were not interested. Henry VIII also executed around 70,000 former Serfs – as they could not find employment in this new age of greed and individualism (with the destruction of the monasteries was also the destruction of the Feudal State – removing Serfs who were loyal to Lords who could possibly challenge the King). They were hanged from trees up and down the roadways of England. A Lord used to supply clothing, food, lodgings, and employment free of charge to each peasant living on his land. In return, they worked for free on the land, and fought for the Lord in times of war. If somehow impoverished due to unseen circumstance – the monasteries would provide free food, clothing, medical care, and lodgings. Many men could become monks to escape working on the land. All this “certainty” was swept away as England forcibly entered modernity. The point is that social change is often incredibly violent before anything beneficial can come from it. The damage predatory capitalism has inflicted upon the world is immeasurable – and it is ongoing. We are brainwashed to think it is normal and inevitable.
