US: Mary L Trump Takes to “X” to Ridicule Her “President” Uncle – for the Murder of 168 Iranian Schoolgirls in their Class-rooms! (3.3.2026)

The young do not ask to be born – the are born because we desire one another’s bodies and personalities – so be it. However, as adults, and as civilised beings, surely it is incumbent upon each and everyone of us to care for and protect the fruit of our loins? Children are mentally and physically fragile and need to be nurtured with kindness and compassion until they grow-up and mature. The sheer evil of the US (Donald Trump) deliberately firing a Tomahawk Missile from the decks of a US Navy ship ridiculously named the “USS Abraham Lincoln” – into a Girls’ School in Iran in the name of the hideous (evil) Zionists in Tel Aviv must rate rigt up there with the greatest crimes committed by Adolf Hitler in the USSR! Of course, Lincoln is historically known to have deprived half of the US States of their inherent (political) rights – killing hundreds of thousands of his fellow countrymen in the process – so perhaps the association is not that bizarre after-all. I find myself instinctively supporting Shia Islam – particularly after witnessing Iranian migrants prancing around Kingston High Street on Sunday waving the Monarchist Flag – cheering the death and destruction being poured-down upon Socialist Iran (they had left their free houses, and driven in their free cars to do this). Furthermore, whilst collecting my younger daughter from school yesterday – a Muslim woman wearing a headscarf said to her friend “It is the beginning of the end Iran. Thank goodness for the US and UK!” This is the calibre of the type of people UK governments are allowing into this country. Idiots – one and all.

Spiritual Light of Iran is Extinguished!

Iran: Latest US-Israeli War Crime – the Light of “Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei” – is No More! (1.3.2026)

Out of respect, I am adding my contribution “below” the main story. It is interesting that within early Buddhist iconography – the Buddha (following his death) is never portrayed in his living form (that was a much later development) – but rather as some form of “empty space”. Indeed, for around 500-years following his Pari-Nirvana (Great Extinguishing) I believe it may have been a taboo to attempt to limit the Buddha to his (passing) physical manifestation (it seems that the Greek habit of making statues of their philosophers [in Gandhara-Afghanistan] that may have influenced the eventual development of Buddha-statues – either sitting [like the Jains] or standing [like Socrates]). One of the early depictions involve an “empty throne” (suggesting a king who has physically departed – but has left his authority in-place). Others involve two footprints, a flower, a tree, and a wheel, etc. The Buddha taught that although the material world “exists” – it is “empty” of any “permanent” or “lasting” entity – when viewed from the perspective of conscious awareness and a finite physical existence. Of course, Buddhism is not Islam – but I believe the Islamic Revolutionary State is hinting that the temporal authority Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei held due to his spiritual attainment – lives on in the face of the pure evil that Trump and Netanyahu both represent – even though his body has been destroyed by the agents of the devil.

He Saint’s Body Will Be Publicly Displayed For The First Time Photo: Sala Stampa For the First Time in 800 Years, the Body of Saint Francis of Assisi Will Be Displayed. Dates, Location, and Details Here | ZENIT - English

Italy: Relics of St Francis of Asisi – Placed on Display! (23.2.2026)

The story of the tomb of St. Francis, hidden for centuries beneath the main altar, lends an almost mystical undertone to this new era. After his death in 1226, the body was carefully hidden to avoid theft or desecration. It was only discovered in 1818, after a long search, and since then, several verifications have been carried out — most recently in 2015 –, which confirmed the authenticity and good state of preservation of the relics. Those bones, marked by the suffering and wounds of the Crucified One, are the physical echo of a life spent for love. The Basilica of St. Francis will become, during that month, the spiritual heart of the world. A massive influx of pilgrims from all Continents is expected. To guarantee a serene and prayerful experience, a free and mandatory reservation system has been established through the website http://www.sanfrancescovive.org, which is available in several languages.

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!

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.

BMA (UK): On Why The Communist Party Should Recognise the Revolutionary Nature of Genuine Buddhism! (16.2.2026)

16/02/2026 Adrian (釋大道)

The point is that even if the brutal capitalists take everything away from the workers (even their clothes) and lock each individual in a cell – this is the ideal conditions for in-depth meditation practice. Nothing can stop a Buddhist so committed – and it is time that the Communist Parties of the world acknowledge the importance of the Buddhist Revolutionary Method! Finally, when studying “Philosophy of Mind” I was introduced to the Western idea that the “mind” does “not exist”. Due to thousands of years of theistic theology – the West was deluded into thinking that the mind equals the disembodied spirit – and that both were “separate” from the body.
