Sutton: St Nicholas Church – Interior and History! (10.9.2023)

10/09/2023 Adrian (釋大道)

Since around 1539 CE (and Henry VIII’s Dissolution of the Monasteries) this Church has been ‘Protestant’. This is a large Church built for a substantial Township and can probably hold at least 100 worshippers at any one time. Bear in mind that there used to be a greater number of Churches in the UK per small area than there are today – and that populations used to be far smaller despite virtually everyone professing a faith. Perhaps the ample and impressive size of the Church is linked to it serving a local population with a higher social status and wealth – requiring certain standards as being seen to be kept! As far as we are concerned, archaeological structures retain the data of the past, and by studying these structures we are able to glimpse into that past!

St Nicholas Church: Dame Brownlowe’s Tomb – Erected in Sutton Parish Church 1699-1700! (9.9.2023)

Obviously, ‘water’ is a very special and divine substance for the Christian religion as it washes away sins and through its purifying agency – allows the ‘Holy Spirit’ to enter the minds, hearts and bodies of those being baptised! This is why our family was very grateful for the care and attention we received – as we were the proverbial ‘weary traveller’ in need of sustenance! As our children habitually took to drawing a colouring in pictures (in the wonderfully equipped children’s section) – myself and Gee traversed the structure – recording in photograph and video all the data we could find!

St Nicholas Church and the ‘Holy’ Spike Situation! (9.9.2023)

09/09/2023 Adrian (釋大道)

I think a Saxon Church was built on a Pagan site – and then eventually replaced with a Norman construction which still stands today. After photographing these constructions and enquiring as to their function – a number of experts stated that they look like ‘Homeless Spikes’ (or earlier prototypes) designed to keep people from entering and loitering in certain areas deemed ‘sensitive’ by landlords, business owners and caretakers of State property! These constructs, however, seem to pre-date the ‘modern’ incarnations of ‘Homeless Spikes’ – but almost certainly serve the same function – despite not appearing on any other corner of the outer Church construct!

Laos Buddhist-Socialist Republic: General Secretary Welcomes Communist Party of China Delegation! (9.9.2023)

09/09/2023 Adrian (釋大道)

On this occasion, Comrade Thongloun Sisoulith welcomed and highly appreciated the visit and work in Laos PDR of Comrade Liu Chien Shao (along with his delegation) – who sent a warm message to Xi Jinping, General Secretary, President of China – as well as appreciated the bilateral cooperation between Laos and China in the past. This includes the coordination of the Foreign Relations Committee of the Communist Party of China – which has contributed significantly to enhancing the friendship and strategic partnership. This comprehensive and stable relationship has lasted for a long time according to the four- directions between the two parties – the two States and the people of the two ‘Socialist’ nations, as well as creating a Laos-Chinese destiny partnership with high standards, high quality and a higher level of cooperation.

The Lost Art of Kuriso Zen! (9.9.2023)

08/09/2023 Adrian (釋大道)

This is a vitally important question which has seen entire departments formed in the Japanese corporate monoliths of Saga and Nintendo – tasked with discovering the exact reality of ‘Kuriso’ Zen – and what the implications might mean for the Japanese Nation and the broader Japanese gaming community as a whole. As is typical with many Sects of popular Buddhism throughout Japanese history, the entire edifice of Buddhist ideology pertaining to a single School is reduced to a single (and simple) ‘mantra’ – or combination of sacred noises contained in a single sentence. Within the ‘Kuriso’ Zen, for instance, the established mantra is as follows:

« 1 … 8 9 10 11 12 … 14 »
