Chinese culture is ancient and belongs to China and the Chinese people! It does not belong to “White” Americans who want to control and exploit the non-White minds and bodies of the Chinese people! Therefore, ALL legitimate expressions of Chinese culture must be traced to Mainland China – with Mainland China being acknowledged as the creative source of such traditions! Mimicking Chinese culture is akin to the Black and White Minstrels! Those who do this have no place in the genuine study of Chinese cultural modes of expression. Above, you will find one of my published articles provided FREE of charge to all readers with an interest of the subject! This is an American magazine, yes, but I keep a bridge-head open for genuine Chinese cultural expressions!

Calibration Hits “57” So It’s Time To Excuse My Little Self-Indulgence….! (30.5.2024)

30/05/2024 Adrian (釋大道)

My academic (and Ch’an) teacher – Richard Hunn (Upasaka Wen Shu) – lived into his 57th year and was struck-down by cancer far too early (passing in 2006)! I suspect I will last a few years yet – but we never can tell! Still, I rise early to perform my academic and spiritual duties. Although now married with children – I have permission to still wear the black-robe of the Caodong Ch’an School – and to carry the Dust-Whisk of Authority. Of course, the only authority I possess is over my own mind and body. Oh, and I love The Beatles!

Mei-An – Happy 12th Birthday! (8.5.2024)

08/05/2024 Adrian (釋大道)

I was forced to go out and purchase extra food – little did I know at the time that Gee would end-up working as a NHS Midwife – albeit in another London Hospital! Gee’s waters partially broke on Saturday evening – but as this was her first baby – she was not sure about what was happening. As matters transpired, it took until Tuesday morning for the waters to fully break – and that was following medical intervention. Just prior to the birth – Gee was practicing Taijiquan in the Room! Twelve-years on, Mei-An is a student of Nonsuch School for Girls!

Victory in Europe Day! May 8th-May 9th – UK, US & Soviet Armies Meet in Berlin! (8.5.2024)

Salute to Sophie Scholl and her Comrades – who were brutally guillotined by Hitler! Salute to the 800,000 men and women murdered by Adolf Hitler’s regime within Germany (1933-1945)! Salute to the Viet Minh – which fought and died throughout Indochina – fighting the Imperial Japanese – only to be betrayed by Winston Churchill in 1945! By the time this portrayal played itself out in 1975 – 6 million Vietnamese men, women and children would lie deeds or wounded following their successful battles with the Imperialist French and US! Salute to the Korean people who fought Imperial Japan – and US aggression in Korea (1950-1953)! Salute to Chinese People’s Volunteer Army that displayed its true “Internationalist” Spirit in Korea! The Juggernaut of Nazi German, Imperial Japanese, and US fascism was stopped in Asia!

Daoism: Archery in the Central Plains! (5.3.2024)

05/03/2024 Adrian (釋大道)

Indeed, as a distinct body of rituals – Confucianism is older – with Daoism developing later. The problem is that historical elements of both ideologies exist within China’s early history. These elements eventually diversified into specific and distinct schools of thought – that seem ‘different’ in practice (which they are) – whilst sharing similar or identical concepts. Term ‘道’ (Dao) exists in Confucian thought as well as in the musings of Laozi and Zhuangzi! Above is my short research paper on the ‘中’ (zhong1) ideogram in relation to archery and ‘hitting the target’.
