Shi Da Dao - Caodong Lineage - Fly-Whisk

China: Old Master Xu Yun [1840-1959] is Still Sat in Meditation! (17.10.2024)

17/10/2024 Adrian (釋大道)

I once saw a Westerner (a German) living in China. He could read, write and talk the Chinese language – and had been accepted as a Disciple by a Daoist Master (this is not easy to do – even if you happen to be ethnically “Chinese”). He was able to perform a secret Daoist gongfu Form -where he used the fly-whisk as a self-defence implement. There was no violence – just lots of spiralling movement. All I can do with my fly-whisk is lift it up and down occasionally. I suppose it all comes down to timing.

China Anti-Cult Network: Falun Gong Reports Part I & II – Celebrating the 25th Anniversary of its Ban! (17.10.2024)

17/10/2024 Adrian (釋大道)

From the late 1980s, until the late 1990s, the US and its intelligence agencies took advantage of China’s “Opening Up” and infiltrated its hinterland with sleeper cells, terrorist groups, radio operators, and many other personnel hostile to the Communist Party of China (CPC). Some of this drive was represented by “White” European-Americans, and Asian-Americans pretending to be ethnically “Chinese”. Even African-Americans were used to compromise the “Socialist” Chinese State – due to its openly “Anti-Racist” position. The Falun Gong is a dangerous cult that must be avoided at all costs! Do not approach its members, do not engage its members, and do not take or distribute any literature produced by this group. Keep your children and the vulnerable away from these individuals and always report their nefarious activity to the Police – to generate a paper record.

China: How to Read the Buddhist “卍” (Swastika) Symbol Currectly! (17.10.2024)

17/10/2024 Adrian (釋大道)

Empress Wu Zetian (武则天) of the Tang Dynasty was attracted to Buddhism very much and often invited Ch’an Masters to the palace to explain Buddhist Sutras to her. It was under the promotion of Wu Zetian that Huayan (华严) Sect became a major Buddhist school during the Tang Dynasty.

At that time, there was still no consensus on the pronunciation of “卍” within Buddhism. Some people insisted that it should be pronounced as “万” (Wan4) or “The Ten Thousand Thing” – but others opposed this interpretation – and believed it should be pronounced as “万”(mo2) or “Scorpion” – referring to an Oracle Bone Inscription which refers to a non-Chinese primitive tribe (during the Shang Dynasty) that worshipped the “Scorpion” whilst mimicking its movements in a ritualistic dance (perhaps implying the “foreignness” of India).

China: Xi Urges Developing System of Modern Military Theory! (16.10.2024)

16/10/2024 Adrian (釋大道)

He stressed the importance of integrating the basic tenets of Marxism with the practice of developing the people’s armed forces, and absorbing the essence of fine traditional Chinese culture in the military domain.

Xi urged efforts to optimize top-level design for military theory innovations, improve the model of relevant research and enhance the application of military theory, thus providing scientific support and guidance for elevating the country’s armed forces to world-class standards more quickly.

Xi’s important instruction was conveyed and studied at the meeting. Zhang Youxia, a member of the Political Bureau of the CPC Central Committee and vice chairman of the CMC, attended the meeting and delivered a speech.

Socialist Science Leading Space Research!

China: Socialist Space Science Development Programme for 2024-2050! (15.10.2024)

15/10/2024 Adrian (釋大道)

The programme also outlines a roadmap for the development of space science in China through 2050.

In the first phase, leading up to 2027, China will focus on the space station operation, implementing the manned lunar exploration project, and the fourth phase of its lunar exploration programme as well as the planetary exploration project. Five to eight space science satellite missions will be approved during the period, according to the programme.

The international lunar research station initiated by China will be constructed during the second phase from 2028 to 2035, and approximately 15 scientific satellite missions will be carried out during this period.

In the third phase from 2036 to 2050, China will launch over 30 space science missions.
