The Pure Behaviour of Ch’an Master Ti Guang [体光] (1924-2005)! [22.10.2024]

22/10/2024 Adrian (釋大道)

This is why Master Ti Guang had perfected the realisation of “stillness” (emptiness) and “movement” (function) – and was able to express this through a martial technique free of greed, hatred, and delusion. All year roung, Master Ti Guang wore a tattered, patchwork robe – following the Buddha’s original example of only wearing a robe constructed out of tattered clothing taken from the rotting corpses lying around in the charnel grounds of ancient India. Master Ti Guang never ate any food after noon each day. Master Ti Guang understood (and followed) all the rules and regulations governing the strict discipline of the Meditation hall. As a consequence, Master Ti Guang had stilled and expanded his mind, and manifested endless degrees of insightul wisdom throughout his life!

Tibet: The 1969 “Nimu Riot” – How the US Wastes Non-White Lives for Capitalism! (17.10.2024)

Two Chinese men greeted each other in Cantonese – and began to swap stories about which parts of Hong Kong they are their families had attacked and burned at the behest of the US and UK – during the 2019 Hong Kong riots (before receiving their awards of foreign Citizens – by pretending to be “Christian”). They thought no one who mattered could understand what they were saying. Both laughed when it transpired that they both attacked Victoria Point at the height of the disturbances (I have been there many times). Victoria Point was the area of the Last Stand of British Army in 1941 – just prior to its defeat at the Imperial Japanese Army. People like these two treacherous Hong Kongers were waiving Imperial Japanese Army flags during the riots in Hong Kong! Just like the deluded Tibetans who fought for the Americans in 1969 – these Hong Kongers who now fight for the US and UK will be defeated.

Shi Da Dao - Caodong Lineage - Fly-Whisk

China: Old Master Xu Yun [1840-1959] is Still Sat in Meditation! (17.10.2024)

17/10/2024 Adrian (釋大道)

I once saw a Westerner (a German) living in China. He could read, write and talk the Chinese language – and had been accepted as a Disciple by a Daoist Master (this is not easy to do – even if you happen to be ethnically “Chinese”). He was able to perform a secret Daoist gongfu Form -where he used the fly-whisk as a self-defence implement. There was no violence – just lots of spiralling movement. All I can do with my fly-whisk is lift it up and down occasionally. I suppose it all comes down to timing.

China Anti-Cult Network: Falun Gong Reports Part I & II – Celebrating the 25th Anniversary of its Ban! (17.10.2024)

17/10/2024 Adrian (釋大道)

From the late 1980s, until the late 1990s, the US and its intelligence agencies took advantage of China’s “Opening Up” and infiltrated its hinterland with sleeper cells, terrorist groups, radio operators, and many other personnel hostile to the Communist Party of China (CPC). Some of this drive was represented by “White” European-Americans, and Asian-Americans pretending to be ethnically “Chinese”. Even African-Americans were used to compromise the “Socialist” Chinese State – due to its openly “Anti-Racist” position. The Falun Gong is a dangerous cult that must be avoided at all costs! Do not approach its members, do not engage its members, and do not take or distribute any literature produced by this group. Keep your children and the vulnerable away from these individuals and always report their nefarious activity to the Police – to generate a paper record.

China: How to Read the Buddhist “卍” (Swastika) Symbol Currectly! (17.10.2024)

17/10/2024 Adrian (釋大道)

Empress Wu Zetian (武则天) of the Tang Dynasty was attracted to Buddhism very much and often invited Ch’an Masters to the palace to explain Buddhist Sutras to her. It was under the promotion of Wu Zetian that Huayan (华严) Sect became a major Buddhist school during the Tang Dynasty.

At that time, there was still no consensus on the pronunciation of “卍” within Buddhism. Some people insisted that it should be pronounced as “万” (Wan4) or “The Ten Thousand Thing” – but others opposed this interpretation – and believed it should be pronounced as “万”(mo2) or “Scorpion” – referring to an Oracle Bone Inscription which refers to a non-Chinese primitive tribe (during the Shang Dynasty) that worshipped the “Scorpion” whilst mimicking its movements in a ritualistic dance (perhaps implying the “foreignness” of India).

Speaking at the event, Vice President of the NUOL Thongsouk Keomany said this event has built a platform for Lao teachers and students to appreciate the friendly cooperation between Laos and China, further enhancing the traditional friendship and mutual understanding between the two countries.

Li Yiping, director of the China Cultural Centre in Laos, said this was the first time that the China Cultural Centre in Laos and the NUOL jointly organized the poetry event “Viewing the Same Moon Together — Reading Poems for the Chinese Mid-Autumn Festival,” which promotes the traditional Chinese culture and Chinese poetry into campuses and among Lao youth.

Li emphasized that it is important to promote cultural exchanges between China and Laos.

The Mid-Autumn Festival, taking place annually on the 15th day of the eighth month in the Chinese lunar calendar, will be observed on Sept. 17 this year.
