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.

Tilford: A “Red-Week” in a Country Retreat! (22.5.2026)

22/05/2026 Adrian (釋大道)

It is a quaint area free off the stresses of the city – and a big sign reads “No Flags on the Exterior of the Building” – so in-doors it is! Even rebelling must be measured and inaccordance with circumstances. There is a nearby river and families of ducks wandering around. My Taijiquan practice will be particularly enhanced in this environment. Thank you to my mother – Diane Wyles! Gee has just driven to the next village to purchase some chips for our supper! We have basically infiltrated the conservative rump of the Home Counties. We are the enemy within – and the Reds Under the Beds – except we have paid to also lie in these beds. The capitalist railroaders are happy – so we let them continue to think that way.

UK: The Great Charlie Chuck! (22.5.2026)

22/05/2026 Adrian (釋大道)

When I was young, I worked in a number of factories and wore over-alls. We were all fully Unionised workers. The Social Clubs used to collect fees from its members (small weekly or monthly amounts) which were used to fund the two-week “Works’ Holiday” in August – usually paying fully for a break in a Holiday Camp (all-inclusive). Later, during the 1970s, the Unions (via Social Clubs) would fund flights to Spain (all-inclusive). If any government dared to take away the Welfare State, the NHS, or Social Services – the Unions would threaten to paralyse society through “all-out” General Strikes! Workers would even turn-off the electric to prove their point. All this was destroyed by Thatcher and all of the UK Social Clubs are now gone – with workers wallowing in self-pity and personal greed (open to manipulation by the far-right). How sad it all is. Still, Charlie Chuck has a “Zen-Like” quality about his prose – although many of my international readers may not understand his Northern-drawl.

Meizhou Hakka Football Club - Dark Days Ahead!

China: Meizhou Hakka Football Club Hammered by CFA Ruling! (25.5.2026)

22/05/2026 Adrian (釋大道)

On the afternoon of May 21, the Chinese Football Association announced its disciplinary decision. Based on the latest criminal judicial judgment materials, it was found that Meizhou Hakka Football Club had committed other serious violations and disciplinary infractions. Referring to previous industry disciplinary principles for clubs involved, it was decided to deduct 6 additional points from the 2026 Professional League and impose a fine of 800,000 RMB on Meizhou Hakka Football Club.

China Football Association: 3rd Batch of Match-Fixing Penalties Issued – Gambling & Black Market Corruption – 17 [Including Hakka] Banned! (22.5.2026)

22/05/2026 Adrian (釋大道)

The first Article is the official “English” announcement permitted by the Chinese Court and/or government. Good to see the Meizhou Hakka people at the fore-front of sporting corruption. The Hakka are always industry-leaders – and I expect nothing less of their innovative activity (I jest – of course). Even in the UK – Hakka take-away owners cannot resist wasting thousands of their hard-earned money on gambling! It is an issue amongst the Chinese community – or at least a certain strata of it. From gambling speculation there creeps-in all other types of corruption. Let this be a lesson. Although the US government (and the far-right) does allow and encourage “gambling” (as a form of capitalistic social control) – the far-left (and certainly not the CPC) will allow this cancer to fester within Chinese society. Enjoy sport but participate fairly and without exploitation! Hakka people need to police their communities more effectively and demand the law is followed. Remember, the Hakka were avid supporters of the Socialist Revolution – do not spoil this achievement!

USSR: Mao Zedong Celebrates Joseph Stalin’s Official [1949] 70th Birthday! (21.5.2026)

21/05/2026 Adrian (釋大道)

The 1878 Register of Infant Births kept in the Orthodox Episcopal Church of Gori City (Georgia) states (on page 33): “On December 6th, Gori resident and peasant Vissarion Ivanovich Dzhugashvili and his legal wife Ekaterina Gebrienovna gave birth to a son, Joseph”. This reference is taken as Stalin’s “actual” or “material” birthdate by many historians – although the former Catholic monk – Joseph McCabe – runs with the official date (explained below) which I find curious as he might well have had contacts who could have accessed the Church Records in Georgia. One reason might be that the politicised “Church” was viewed as acting hand-in-glove with the bourgeois (or “feudal” State in the Russian context) and therefore part of the problem that must be overthrown (that is, shifted from “public” to “private”). In this sense, who cares what the Church records? As the Secular State is primary (as the vehicle through which “Socialism” is achieved that leads to “Communism” and the dissolving of the State) – it should decide material reality and its manifestation.

WHO Recognises Cuba's Contribution To World Health"

Cuba: WHO Award – Free of Mother-to-Child Transmission of HIV & Syphilis! (20.5.2026)

20/05/2026 Adrian (釋大道)

Cuba, which in 2015 became the first nation in the world to reach this milestone, continues to demonstrate that universal health coverage, firm political commitment, and robust primary care are fundamental pillars for protecting pregnant women and their children.

With this result, the country remains in the group of some twenty nations and territories that guarantee the elimination of these diseases in newborns, which is the result of decades of dedication by our health professionals, amid the worst economic blockade ever suffered by any nation.

I always wonder how much more we could do for our people and for the world, without the noose of the #GenocidalBlockade around our necks.
