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.

China: A 3,000-Year-Old Glimpse into Bronze Age Technological Prowess! (5.10.2026)

05/10/2026 Adrian (釋大道)

In the 21st century, China has once again emerged as a major industrial and technological power — home to the world’s most comprehensive industrial systems and making rapid advances in areas ranging from new-energy vehicles and artificial intelligence to robotics, quantum technology, space exploration and marine science.

The Tonglushan site was discovered by chance during mining operations in 1973, and archaeological excavations found that mining and smelting activity there dates back at least to the early years of the Spring and Autumn Period (770 B.C.-476 B.C.).

“It confirms that China’s Bronze Age civilization followed a complete and independent course of development,” Chen said. “Archaeological comparisons show that the copper used in the Bianzhong of Marquis Yi of Zeng, a famous set of bronze chime bells, as well as many other bronze artifacts, came from Tonglushan.”

South-West China: Village Super League Hosts a “World Cup” of its Own! (5.10.2026)

Yang Bing, the evening’s commentator, said excitedly, “The 2026 Mini Cun Chao World Cup opened today. Rongjiang has truly turned a county-level village tournament into a global one.”

Since going viral from May to July 2023, the VSL has pursued the goal of “attracting people from all over the world to play together.” It plans to hold the Mini Cun Chao World Cup in 2026 and the Cun Chao World Cup in 2028. The 2026 international tournament is the so-called Mini Cun Chao World Cup.

Yang, a native of Kouzhai Village in Rongjiang County and a lifelong football fan, has commented on hundreds of VSL matches, including many international friendlies. He said that this international football cup is different. It is the first time the VSL has hosted an international cup, making his dream of a Mini Cun Chao World Cup a reality.

DPRK: The True Meaning of Modernity! (4.10.2026)

Then he stressed that each foodstuff factory should realize the modernization of production lines on a higher level like this factory, adding that modernization based on foreign equipment, not on our own efforts and technology, cannot be termed modernization in its true sense.

He stated that modernization demanded by the Workers’ Party of Korea is the one based on our Juche-oriented forces and technology, not based on the strength and technology of other countries.

His meaningful teachings reflected the iron truth that to strictly rely on one’s own strength and technology is the key to developing the country’s economy and hastening the national prosperity. (End)

UK: Late-September – Time to go “Conkering”! (3.10.2026)

03/10/2026 Adrian (釋大道)

Two people would face-off in a Conkering Competition – with one holding their stringed conquer “still” – whilst the opponent “swung” their stringed conquer at it with as much force as they could muster. The impact would either do nothing – damage and/or smash the conker. The swing could also miss. I seem to remember the one strike each – or agreed number of strikes – often three-swings each. Today, children still marvel at the dropping of horse-chestnuts – but do not really know what to do with them. Kai-Lin, my ten-year old daughter, has gathered-up about 20 conkers from the local park. It seems that local schools banned Conkering due to injuries being sustained by participants and those watching. Although not officially banned – this draconian approach amounted to much the same effect.

La Trobe archaeologists have described 18 new hominin fossils including a second Homo erectus skull fragment confirming the species’ first appearance was in southern Africa 2.0 million years ago – 200,000 years earlier than traditionally thought.

South Africa: Fossils Confirm Homo Erectus Present 2 Million-Years Ago [200,000 Years Earlier Than Previously Thought]! (3.11.2026)

03/10/2026 Adrian (釋大道)

“Homo erectus is the first species of hominin that researchers broadly agree fits within our own genus Homo and is likely directly ancestral to us. Drimolen preserves evidence for the first appearance of this species 2 million years ago, however the original fossil, DNH 134, belonged to a child aged between two and four, and there was uncertainty about what the adult version may have looked like,” lead researcher Dr Jesse Martin said.

“This paper publishes a new adult fossil attributed to Homo erectus, DNH 127, providing further confirmation that this species first appeared in southern Africa 2 million years ago.”

The researchers have also been able to confirm that P. robustus underwent micro-evolution, and evolved larger teeth and chewing muscles between 2 million and 1.8 million years ago.

US: Christa Pike “Survives” Two Attempts to Execute Her! (2.10.2026)

Of course, the UK abolished hanging in the 1960s after a number of highly publicised miscarriages of justice and a growing public resistance to the practice. Today, only lunatics, fascists, and reprobates would ever consider surrendering the individual power to prevent executions – and give that power back to an uncaring State. Having said that, the various regimes that occupied the British Isles over the last 2000-years or more – did carry-out the arbitrary killing of individuals for all kinds of spurious reasons – the Christian Church being one of the greatest killers. Midwives were routinely executed by the Church for daring to care for pregnant women. Indeed, although the UK still possesses Midwives – the US effectively banned this profession due to its association with Witchcraft. How cool is that? Perhaps the final irony is that after the British traitors assumed control of the colonies the UK had established in the Americas – their first act was to abolish the death penalty because it was a remnant of the old Europe the British traitors had abandoned. That and the fact that these scandrals knew that if England ever assumed control of the colonies again – Washington, Jefferson, and all the rest – would probably end-up dangling from ropes after ten-minute trials for “Treason”.
