Exploring the philosophy (and practice) of Early and Later Buddhism.

Digging into the Trench!

Sutton: St Nicholas Church – Feeding Squrrels & Pigeons! (21.9.2025)

We visited the Church-yard of St Nicholas Church on the 14.9.2025 – a pleasant Saturday afternoon in South-West London (formerly East Surrey). At the moment we are experiencing what we use to call an “Indian Summer” – providing this is still an acceptable analogy (who knows – the ground upon which we stand keeps dissolving into loose sand). Either way, communing with wild animals teaches children empathy, sympathy, and kindness. This is inter-species communication – a very important aspect of a civilised upbringing and education. From a superstitious Buddhist view – all life is karmically inter-related following endless cycles of rebirth (bundles of life-habit living through all different life-forms until the realisation of enlightenment breaks the cycle). Is this real? I have no idea – but the Buddha seems to think rebirth is a Brahmanic myth – but it is a myth which he uses to convey his teaching and make his point, etc.

Becoming Aware of the Mind - Moment To Moment!

BMA-UK: Uprooting the Delusion that Underlies Racism! (21.9.2025)

Racism is learned on the outside of the body – and imported into the interior of the mind – where it becomes a habit of interpretation regarding other objects in the world. Perpetuating racism is one manifestation of racism – as is being a victim of racism – or the recipient of racism. In Asia, the Buddhist answer is to remove all klesa (defilements) – greed, hatred, and delusion – so that the conditions that allow racism to exist cannot function. Laws can be changed outlawing racism in the external world – this only deals with the superficiality that is racism – the tip of the iceberg so-to-speak.

An Unsuspecting Client Cannot Tell this is a Man!

Thailand: Red Sister [红姐] – How a Chinese Transvestite – was Transformed into a Buddhist Saint! (18.9.2025)

Through the US colony of Taiwan, however, young Chinese women are encouraged to access the Western internet (the Western internet is banned in Mainland China to prevent the spread of bourgeois pollution) so that they can film themselves engaging in solo and partnered s’xual activity. They quickly become rich doing this through primarily White US males paying to watch the shows (this is also linked to the Western paedophilia industry). In the capitalist world, there is much money to be made exploiting the minds and bodies of young Chinese women (and girls) in the service of Western sexual decadence. This is why I think the criminal who is the subject in this article may well receive a highly draconian sentence – and I think he deserves it. He possesses so many more rights in Socialist China and he should not have broken the law by exploiting others. I also think those who visited this criminal for s’x should also be punished.

Do Not Be Distracted By the Bourgeois Distraction!

BMA-UK: The State of Play in the Capitalist West! (16.9.2025)

The mind must remain reflective and decisively piercing in its insightful functionality. The mind must not be taken with the smoke and mirrors which the establishment is feeding the masses as a form of deliberate distraction. Capitalism, and those who advocate and support it, are always the problem. Just as long as predatory capitalism exists – capitalist oppression will continue to exist. Successive UK governments (they are ALL bourgeois) have systematically deprived the British people of the Socialism the incumbent Labour Party introduced in between 1945-1951. Migrants are NOT the real problem – even if the successive governments have weaponised it deliberately to generate widespread working-class conflict and derision.

Life Expectancy Raises to 79!

Lei, speaking on the country’s progress in the health sector during the 14th Five-Year Plan period (2021-25), stated that infant and maternal mortality rates have continued to decline over the past five years, and the overall health level of residents has steadily improved.

Congratulations on 77th Anniversary!

DPRK: Laos President Congratulates Kim Jong Un on 77th Anniversary of Country’s Founding! (9.9.2025)

As a close friend of the fraternal DPRK people, we are very proud of and pleased about great successes achieved by the DPRK people for the past 70 years, he said, adding that we are sure that the DPRK would make successes continuously in carrying out the cause of building a Socialist power under the wise leadership of the Workers’ Party of Korea headed by Kim Jong Un.

He expressed the will to closely cooperate with Kim Jong Un to bring substantial benefits to the peoples of the two countries, defend peace and stability in the region and the rest of the world and achieve cooperation and development by further expanding and developing the traditional relations of friendship and cooperation between the two Communist Parties, two States and two Peoples of Laos and the DPRK with a long tradition.
