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: The History of “Changing the Clocks” [It’s About to Happen]! (23.10. 2026)

25/10/2026 Adrian (釋大道)

The campaign for British Summer Time came about at the beginning of the 20th century when parliament passed the Summer Time Act in 1916.

British builder William Willett led the movement, inspired by his love of the outdoors. He advocated for BST in his 1907 ‘Waste of Daylight’ pamphlet to increase opportunities for leisure and help reduce energy costs.

He suggested a plan which included 20-minute changes four Sundays in a row in April and September to minimise disruption to people’s biological clocks, arguing that they would “lose nothing and gain substantially”.

He died in 1915 before his vision would become a reality.

The following year, a simplified version of his proposal – a change of an hour – was introduced as the country suffered from huge coal shortages during the First World War.

It has undergone some changes: During the Second World War, Britain kept clocks one hour ahead of GMT through the winter and, from 1941, adopted British Double Summer Time, placing clocks two hours ahead of GMT during summer months. It was then returned to GMT at the end of summer 1945.

UK: Police “Mock” Death of Paul Hardcastle’s Son! (24.10.2026)

24/10/2026 Adrian (釋大道)

This is one of the protest tracks from my youth – as I was inspired by the Vietnamese people. Hardcastle’s track helped me understand the position from the American teenage victims of this hideous war. A private soldier served 12-months – but an officer served only 9-months (there were exceptions). This meant that US combat units were continuously changing and men that were just beginning to gain existence – left and returned home. New recruits – whom lacked experience – often died first. The North Vietnamese and South Vietnamese Viet Cong – led by Ho Chi Minh and General Giap – inflicted a psychological and physical military defeat upon the imperialist Americans. Around 6-million Vietnamese men, women, and children were killed, maimed or “disappeared” – compared to just 58 thousand dead US soldiers. Today, due to the use of the chemical Weapon – “Agent Orange” – Vietnamese people are continuously effected by genetic disorders and physical (psychological) disabilities. Agent Orange was both a “defoliant” (designed to kill and remove plants and vegetable matter) – whilst also turning a foetus gestating in a womb into a “cancer” that killed the mother and child. The reality was that many babies developed anyway – but with terrible malformations. This is how capitalism seeks to destroy Socialism.

Japan Responsible for Mongolian Forest Fire! 2026

The idea was to weaken it further by encouraging the Kremlin to divert troops into Asia. However, despite the material damage suffered – the USSR absorbed the losses and due to it Socialist system – was able to recover in a remarkably short-time. In just three-months of defeating the Nazi Germans – the war-weary Soviet Red Army was restructured, re-trained, and re-armed. However, the Soviets requested help from Socialist Mongolia – which was granted (Mongolia had not been involved in WWII). The Soviet Red Army entered Manchuria alongside the People’s Army of Socialist Mongolia which assisted in the destruction of he occupying Imperial Japanese. Due to the post-1945 US policy of placating a defeated Japan – Japan has not had to acknowledge, apologise, or make amends for the War Crimes and Crimes Against Humanity its forces committed in China (and Asia) between 1931-1945. Today, Japan has followed the US example and elected a far-right leader – who denies War Crimes and sends tributes to the shrines dedicated to Japan’s historical War Criminals (Yes – the Americans permitted the establishment of these hideous entities). Japanese behaviour outside of Japan has become ever-more militant, destructive, and unpredictable in recent times. Many believe this fire was deliberate – and that the Japanese leadership is behind it.

BMA (UK) – Techno-Dhamma – Enlightenment Beyond the Body! (22.10.2026)

22/10/2026 Adrian (釋大道)

According to Buddhist theory, the content of the mind is imported a) from the material environment (via the six sense-organs interacting with six sense objects), and b) thought formations premised upon karmic traits laid-down (as “habit”) in previous existences. A previous existence does not have to have been “human” – but could involve any type of life-form – even on other planets situated in different universes and/or dimensions. As this type of existence is mysterious and not fully understood – existences may not unfold in a logical choreography. A past life might have happened in the future when compared to the present – or unfolded within a completely different time corridor not obviously related to the present (although there must be some kind of hidden karmic association). The mechanism of continuing thought-habit might be like one candle lighting another as the former burns-out and the latter blazes brightly. Of course, the Buddha asserts that rebirth (and karma) no longer exists in the enlightened state.

UK: On Why Genuine Buddhism is “Anti-Capitalist”! (22.10.2026)

22/10/2026 Adrian (釋大道)

For most people the reality of everyday life involved a mutually supporting communal-activity (a “Sangha”) with “bartering” reserved for the importing or exporting of goods and services. Every member of such communities was a) entitled to all the goods and services of that community, and b) was expected to contribute to the generating of those goods and services. Within the Vinaya Discipline, the Buddha states that the lay-community may participate in any form of “honest” (bloodless) commerce that may (or may not) involve the handling of money (coinage or otherwise). A lay-household must ethically budget to a) supporting itself, and b) the broader community (through charitable donations) – as well as “saving” money (or goods) for emergencies and hard-times. Part of this lay-budgeting involves the lay-household giving waste food and water to the bhikkhus (beggars) of the Buddha as they slowly (and consciously) “walked” through their neighbourhood on a daily basis. The reward is karmically-premised – as this action permits these monastics to pursue the Dhamma in the purest manner. The bhikkhus are “freed” from the requirement of their participating in the world of cyclic existence and this attracts an immeasurable measure of great and good karma. (The situation in China is slightly different – as although the laity is free to donate as little or as much as they like [thus generating good karma] – the monastics must grow their own vegetarian food – and not be a burden to any other community). As for the bhikkhus (and bhikkhunis) there is to be NO participation in the worldly activities associated with commerce. This is because all greed, hatred, and delusion must be uprooted during meditation practice from the mind and body.

Wu Qing, a 36-year-old veteran, once again won the Paralympic gold medal

China: Para-Athlete – “Wu Qing” [吴晴] – Gold Medal Shot-Putter! (22.10.2026)

22/10/2026 Adrian (釋大道)

During the preparation period for this Nagoya Asian Para Games, Wu Qing maintained a highly disciplined training state, insisting on intensive specialized training and completing hundreds or even thousands of throwing exercises. The Heilongjiang Disabled Persons’ Federation provided comprehensive support, with a professional coaching and rehabilitation team following up throughout, precisely adjusting technical movements and scientifically regulating her physical condition, laying a solid foundation for her to compete in international competitions.
