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.

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.

Robo-Bhikkhu

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

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)

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)

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.

Me in Sri Lanka 13 12 1996.

UK: Email – “Mary” [1916] – Did Texans Hang an Elephant? (21.10.2026)

I am also suspicious of all the so called “eye-witnesses” – all saying different things – and yet no-one knowing the one single concrete fact that would shed light on this entire affair – where is the body buried? It is odd that when it comes to specifics – no one is sure about facts – or where anything is or was. Where is the crane that supposedly carried-out the hanging? Where is the chain used in the hanging? Where is the written death sentence? Where is the legal evidence? I sincerely hope this story is a myth. It is a hideous display of human callousness. In 1903, American degenerates killed the elephant “Topsy” via electrocution – an equally hideous spectacle “filmed” for posteriority. Indeed, Topsy, after a lifetime of abuse, was considered too difficult to control and degenerates in Coney Island wanted to “hang” the animal. Apparently, Topsy died quickly – and this was 13-years prior to the alleged “Mary” incident of 1916 – which seems very poorly recorded by comparison. As I abhor animal cruelity – I do not want to directly share any alleged photograph of poor “Mary”. Instead I include a photograph of me sat with an elephant in Sri Lanka in late 1996 – a very gentle creature that like to eat bananas and walk up and down the beach.

North Korea Responds to US Colonial Aggression!

DPRK: Marshal Pak Jong Chon Inspects Border Fortifications! (21.10.2026)

The US is aggressively manoeuvring its colonial military assists (operated by Japan and South Korea) – around, near, and adjacent – to the “legal” border (the UN decreed “38th Parallel”) of North Korea. The Western media is “silent” about this – and so most in the US, UK, and EU are unaware of this reality. What the Western media is doing is conveying the false propaganda that North Korea – for no discernible reason – has deployed some type of advanced “terror” weapon on its border. This is part of the continuous (racist) disinformation the US (and its allies) deploy against its perceived non-White enemies (anyone who disagrees with predatory capitalism). Defending national borders from external aggression is enshrined within International Law – whilst illegal military aggression threatening national borders is condemned. Of course, the US has never moulded its external actions in the world to International Law and has spent the decades since 1945 persuading the world it is no longer limited to (or bound by) such laws. It is the lawless attitude of the US that is the greatest threat to world peace – North North Korea building Socialism within its own boundaries. The peoples of Japan and South Korea should throw-off the shackles of US domination and properly align their countries with International Law. This will require these two countries no longer threatening the citizens of other countries to please their Washington masters.
