Buddhist-Marxism Alliance (UK) – A Buddhist Response to Zionist-Fascism! (21.10.2023)

Genuine Buddhist philosophy is automatically left-wing and perfectly aligned with the ideology of Scientific Socialism! The USSR possessed at least three Buddhist-Socialist Republics – with Buddhism being prominent throughout Asia – particularly China, Korea, Vietnam and Laos. It is only in the capitalist West and post-1945 Japan – that a perverse right-wing Buddhism has developed premised upon the very greed, hatred and delusion the Buddha stated causes ALL human suffering in the world! At the above link is a short and concise article published on the Buddhist-Marxism Alliance (UK) website highlighting a ‘Buddhist’ approach to the Palestine-Israeli situation.

China: 6,000-Year-Old “Male” DNA Found in Matriarchal Society! (24.9.2023)

According to experts, by comprehensively analyzing and comparing the environmental differences, living and production levels, artistic and aesthetic inheritance and human physical changes between then and now, the excavation has revealed that the human history of Wuxi dates back to at least 6,000 years ago. 

The relics and artifacts unearthed from the site have become “living fossils” of the matriarchal society in the area.

The Majiabang Culture was named after Majiabang village in Nanhu, East China’s Zhejiang Province, where it was first discovered in 1959. 

Archaeological surveys over the years have shown that the Majiabang Culture, a matriarchal society, was bridged by the Songze Culture before this area completely developed into a patrilineal society. After that it reached the threshold of state civilization after it combined with the Liangzhu Culture, a highly developed ancient culture in the late Neolithic Age in the Yangtze River Delta.

Mooncakes Are in Town! (22.9.2023)

In 2023 this will fall on Friday September 29th! This coincides with what is termed the ‘Chung Yeung’ Festival – where the graves of the ancestors are cleaned and tidied! In Putonghua this is pronounced as ‘Chong Yang’ (重陽) and refers to the ‘Double Nine’ attribute common in the Book of Changes (essentially a ‘double-yang’ line in a hexagram implying incredible good luck – doubled). What all this means – and there are many more stories – is that we eat Mooncakes and pay respect to our deceased ancestors – either at their graves or at a shrine – where incense-sticks are lit. Meanwhile, there is a beautiful woman, a Jade Rabbit and even a Master-Archer – who is able to shoot-down false ‘Moons’! Like most cultural aspects in traditional China – there is a complexity of integration, contradiction, paradox and reconciliation! The main point is to wish everybody Good Luck for the future!
