The Re-Arranged Family Shrine - 2026

UK: The Family Shrine Re-Arranged for the Passing of My Father! (18.6.2026)

Even if no member of a Chinese family has not trained in a formal spiritual order – incense will be regularly lit, and fresh flowers and fruit will be added every so many days. Of course, some shrines are kept-up at a greater degree than others – but this does not matter in the end. A family shrine is a door-way between one plane and another. It is a two-way structure that permits a solemn respect to traverse from the material realm into the immaterial realm – and allows a positive spiritual reality to emanate from the immaterial plane to the material realm. Today, I talked to my deceased father – and I did this via a photograph that my mother took and printed-out for me probably around 2010. The photograph was taken in the front garden of our old home at 2 Torbay Road, Torquay Road, Torquay, Devon (the shyster landlord took over a hundred thousand pounds in rent between 2002-2018 before applying a no-fault eviction because we requested a repair be made). As this was 16-years ago – my father would have been around 68-years old at the time. I suppose my father was at the peak of his power as an elderly person! Tomorrow we will collectively lit incense. It is the next stage of respectful mourning.

Dad's Funeral Card - 2026

Torbay: Graven Images Are Appearing & Our Funeral Card for My Dad! (4.6.2026)

As an older man myself, I am unperturbed by the passing of my father. This inner state of non-friction is a product of two distinct influences on my life – my father’s attitude to material reality (always be fearless and move forward when under fire) – and Buddhist meditation (remove greed, hatred, and delusion from within – and do not create the conditions that manifests these taints externally). It is a multifaceted approach to conflict resolution in the world. Yes – I have seen my father’s now deceased body – and it is a body that is no longer functioning. He is no longer in physical pain. Indeed, natural processes have removed his presence from the physical world – just as they brought him into it a little over 84-years ago. This does not absolve those around him who contributed to his suffering – as they shall be forever damned – but such an attitude demonstrates that externally deriving ignorance will crush or divert our way of viewing the world. We will not bend or bow-down to tyranny.

UK: My Father Radiating Peace & Love at the Point of Departure! (31.5.2026)

375. Control of the senses, contentment, restraint according to the code of monastic discipline — these form the basis of holy life here for the wise monk.

376. Let him associate with friends who are noble, energetic, and pure in life, let him be cordial and refined in conduct. Thus, full of joy, he will make an end of suffering.

377. Just as the jasmine creeper sheds its withered flowers, even so, O monks, should you totally shed lust and hatred!

378. The monk who is calm in body, calm in speech, calm in thought, well-composed and who has spewn out worldliness — he, truly, is called serene.

379. By oneself one must censure oneself and scrutinize oneself . The self-guarded and mindful monk will always live in happiness.

380. One is one’s own protector, one is one’s own refuge. Therefore, one should control oneself, even as a trader controls a noble steed.

381. Full of joy, full of faith in the Teaching of the Buddha, the monk attains the Peaceful State, the bliss of cessation of conditioned things.

382. That monk who while young devotes himself to the Teaching of the Buddha illumines this world like the moon freed from clouds.

It Could Just Be True!

UK: The Red Menace Makes It Through Another Year! (30.5.2026)

My birthday is just two-days after that of my late father. The allegation in the above text could well be true. Fight everything, question everything, and accept nothing. It is a good start. I remember as a kid working it out for myself that the supposedly left-wing comic – Alexi Sayle – was in fact a traitor to the cause when he decided to endorse capitalist advertisement! Later, I further realised that if you do not conform somewhere, then the system you oppose will permanently exclude you. The net permitted a certain re-balancing – but just look at how the capitalists have colonised it and turned everything into mindless adverts and paywalls. Keep you powder dry and tinder in good order. It is all about timing – and getting away with it. This is a small envelop of opportunity – so use it well. Meanwhile, my deceased father is lying in state – and what an awful state of Care Home, NHS, and Social Services neglect it is. Untreated ailments, sores, injuries – and so on.

Moses Waveman - Peter Wyes RIP

UK: An Email to my Deceased Father – Moses Waveman! (30.5.2026)

Even the far-right tried to have ago – pretending you said this or said that – apparently unaware that half of your family are “Chinese” (many of the current staff-members of Hadleigh Court – the care home that evicted you – are members of the far-right and punished you for not supporting their twisted ideas). This fact, once it became known, holed that far-right beneath the water-line and it never recovered. I knew what you think – but you never openly spoke about politics – and yet there are numerous utterances that somehow you mysteriously always managed to align with their (often nefarious) viewpoints. The far-left kept its distance from you – viewing you as a product of bourgeois excess – how wrong they were! My father was NOT religious – but you WERE spiritual. Quite a contradiction for the small-minded. Whatever the case, you fought against the capitalists on my behalf when I was a child, a youth, and an adult. I stood with you when I grew-up and was able. I know continue this fight.
