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.

Stuart Boorman has pleaded with Gravesham council to let his family stay on their land

UK: Kent Council Hits “Glitch” Whilst Discriminating Against Local Gypsy Community! (19.2.2026)

19/02/2026 Adrian (釋大道)

On February 12, council planning enforcement officers visited the site and found evidence that the notice had not been complied with.

It is understood that Stuart Boorman and his family are some of the occupants living on the site after they bought part of the land last year.

They applied for permission to station eight mobile homes and two day rooms on a section of the land in August, but it was rejected by the council in December.

It was refused because it was on green belt land, the site lies within the Meopham Downs Landscape Character Area, highway safety risks, and the proposed loss of biodiversity.

However, Mr Boorman told KentOnline he believes they are being discriminated against as they are from the Gypsy and Traveller community.

He explained that after years of moving around the county, living in caravans parked on roadsides, car parks and petrol stations, they had tried to settle permanently and get their children into education.

Speaking previously, the 51-year-old said: “Gravesham council is going above and beyond to remove us all from the land.

“Not only would this make my family homeless, but it would disrupt the children’s education and well-being.

“All we ask is to be treated with the same human rights and dignity as every other British citizen, and to be given the opportunity to live alongside the local community.

“When we finally come together and scrape together the money to buy land to settle on, our plans are rejected.”

Despite this, the local authority is now launching legal proceedings for the alleged breach of planning enforcement.

China: 12 Die in Firework – Explosion After “Military Grade” Gunpowder Stored in Hubei Domestic-Commercial Setting! (19.2.2026)

19/02/2026 Adrian (釋大道)

Apparently, the owner (who died in the explosion) was illegally using the the building as a shop, a store-room, and for cheap rented accommodation (possibly for the owner and his family). It is illegal in China for a shop and residential areas to be located in the same single building. Although it is not entirely clear, it may be that all three-floors were being used during Chinese New Year to store excessive firework supplies designed to meet the expected (enhanced) two-week demand. It is illegal to store excessive stock – even within a fully registered shopping area. There is also talk of a “back-draft” – or fires rushing up the stairs – and burning the people trying to escape.

Joseph Stalin - Great Working Class Hero!

UK: In Praise of Stalin – Who Always Kept His Guard Up Against Trotskyism! (18.2.2026)

18/02/2026 Adrian (釋大道)

In my veins I feel the truth of what Joseph Stalin has to say – because what he has to say is absolutely correct. In this regard, Nicolae Ceausescu (and his partner) are working-class heroes murdered by the bourgeoisie (as is Saddam Hussein). It is ironic that whilst the bourgeoise is always trying to delude the masses through the perpetuation of the fog of theist religion – it is always using Christmas-time to carry-out its most brutal executions – even televising such hideous spectacles as a form of “warning” entertainment. Suddenly, the Dalai Lama’s 169 mentions in the Epstein Files fall into place. At one time, the West attempted to infiltrate Moscow high society with secret agents willing to practice homosexuality in the USSR. The NKVD traced this from Washington to Tel Aviv – and reported it to Stalin – who ordered the agents destroyed – and quite right in my opinion. From what I gather, these “male” agents were heterosexuals carrying-out a “trained role” for their country. The idea was to plant the foundation of bourgeois individualism in the USSR using sexual decadence as a vehicle. Indeed, post-1991 saw all kinds of sexual deviance imported into the post-Soviet space, including religion and far-right ideology. All this is “Trotskyite”. Revealing its treachery is not homophobia – but pro-worker (many of the early Bolsheviks were known to be “gay” – but not decadent – and there is the difference). The point is that deficient ideology is not correct ideology – and this applies to false derivatives claiming to be “Marxist”.

UK: Our Chinese New Year Cards & Coins [2026-4724]! (17.2.2026)

17/02/2026 Adrian (釋大道)

The Trump II era is currently pumping-out the propaganda that “Chinese New Year” is NOT “Chinese” (i.e. not relatable to the 1.8 billion people who inhabit Mainland China) – but is in fact merely the “Lunar New Year” which belongs to everyone but the “Chinese”. Apparently, whilst using coded messaging in the mainstream press suggesting that “old” and “oppressive” regimes should be “overthrown” – the US anti-intellectualism that controls the White House does not seem to realise that there are MANY “lunar” calendar that do not align with the Chinese version (the Buddhist and Mohammedans are two examples). Ironically, within China there are both Buddhists and Muslims who celebrate the Chinese New Year – because they are “Chinese”. Outside of China, Muslims tend to reject anything not permitted by their religious leaders – although Buddhists are far more flexible (as they do not worship an “imagined” theistic entity). The point of Chinese New Year is to share the joy of this “Spring Festival” as traditionally people looked forward to a new rice-crop that would sustain the nation!

A study out of Japan showed how targeting genes can regrow teeth in animals. Now, the team has turned to a human clinical trial.

Japan: Humans Have a “Latent” Third Set of Teeth – New Medicine May Help Them Grow By 2030! (17.2.2026)

17/02/2026 Adrian (釋大道)

Teeth are a curious evolutionary life-over from when the average life-expectancy of a human-being was around “20-years-old” or perhaps a little older (early humans used to breed in there early teens due to a very narrow fertility window). However, as human intelligence grew, and human labour made life less difficult – the life-expectancy slowly creeped-up – but teeth development appears to have lagged behind. Far behind – in fact. We can live to 80 – but our teeth give-up the ghost at about 20 – or at least they would without modern dentistry and regular cleaning. Remember – you can die from an infected tooth – so look after yourselves!

Happy Chinese New Year of the Double (Red) Fire Horse!

UK: ICBI Chinese New Year Message – Lunar Spring Festival – 4724! (17.2.2026)

17/02/2026 Adrian (釋大道)

As compassion and loving kindness grows and is magnified through the more people it is shared with – these statements act as “ripples” of positive energy emanating that traverse through the portals of the past, present, and future – excluding none and embracing all! Of course, the Buddha defined the human mind as being that capacity which can perceive the present, recall the past, and plan for the future. This is a remarkable observation. What the Ch’an School offers, infused as it is with the thinking associated with Confucianism – and the far older “Book of Change” – is that the mind should a) be “stilled” (realising a relative emptiness), b) a product of purifying all vestiges of greed, hatred, and delusion, and c) and in so-doing experiencing the expansion of this “emptiness” realisation into an “all-embracing” reality.
