Ch’an Buddhism – Sit But Do Not Wobble! (5.5.2025)

Nowadays, the situation of Ch’an Buddhism in China is precarious. This is because the Ch’an Path is difficult to follow and is not easy to practice. Of course, there are many people who chant the Buddha’s Name and practice Tantric Buddhism – but there are very few who are truly able to practice Ch’an. Many temples focus on building Buddha Chanting Halls which are popular – with the required practice relatively simple to perform – whilst the establishment of disciplined Ch’an Halls are rare. Even if some temples have established Ch’an Halls, but these places often lack dedicated teachers and practitioners who will sit in meditation for long periods of time – and forget about the body and environment. It should be noted that the inheritance of Buddhism in China is largely due to the talents cultivated in Ch’an Halls.

Breaking Rocks on the Rocks!

US: Trump Orders Re-Opening of “The Rock” – Notorious Alcatraz Prison! (5.5.2025)

It would take an enormous amount of money to make Alcatraz into a functioning prison, Professor Gabriel Jack Chin from the Davis School of Law at the University of California told the BBC.

The federal prison system is actually down about 25% from its peak population and “there are a lot of empty beds” in existing prisons, Chin said. “So its not clear if a new one is needed.”

Alcatraz has “a reputation as a tough prison” and Trump is trying to send a message that his administration will be tough on crime, Chin added.

Former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, a California Democrat whose district includes Alcatraz, said the proposal was “not a serious one,” while the Democratic state senator for San Francisco, Scott Wiener, called the idea “deeply unhinged” in post on Instagram and “an attack on the rule of law.”

Alek Yerbury's Fake Boobs Rejected By Trans-Movement!

Birmingham: Far-Right in Disarray as Fake Boobs Did Not Save Neo-Nazi Wannabe! (4.5.2025)

Although I have been accused of paranoia (and of marrying a Tranny – Kate Paris is a woman) – I cannot help but suspect that a third member of the party was Russell Brand. To add insult to injury, the next day I received in the post an inflatable “birthing pool” – supposedly said to be from “The Homeland Party” – to assist with my “National Rebirth Party”! As Rodney King once asked “Why can’t we all just get along?” I must say, Steve Laws has been very supportive. He explained to me that Transvestites are NOT (technically speaking) “Trans-Sexuals” – and that he knows this because of a highly informative booklet passed around within Homeland Party circles (phew – what a relief – there’s a lot of guilt off my mind). I must say, all this sounds very intriguing and I am tempted to ditch all the superficial crap I have to deal with on a daily basis (Kate’s grifting is beyond a joke – she now imagines she’s some type of “lawyer” – which is an expensive delusion). Anyway, let me know if you need a jogging partner and some one to nip down the shops for fried Mars Bars and Irn bru.

asmine said that the two teens had no connection to Bell Mountain, which is located 90 miles north of their home in a series of posts shared on Facebook.

She also said on Facebook that the gas station where they were seen the night before their deaths was located just a few minutes away from their home.

“We are not going to sweep this case up under the rug, we want to know the truth of what happened to Qaadir and Naazir so our family can have closure. It is so many unanswered questions that keeps us up at night,” Yasmine said earlier this month on Facebook.

The older sister of the two brothers is also rejecting the initial assertion from authorities about their deaths.

She and other family members have now created the hashtag “#JusticeForQaadirAndNaazir” to raise awareness.

“Unfortunately Something happened at Bell mountain that ended the lives of 19 year old Qaadir and Naazir, which needs to be further investigated,” Yasmine said of the deaths.
