Mahayana Buddha is Trans Gender

BMA-UK: The Buddha – Gender Fluid or Gender Irrelevant? (6.8.2026)

Of course, even in Shakespeare’s time in England – men dressed as women because women were not permitted to act on the stage. The Vinaya Discipline seeks to completely “cut-off” all sexual activity in the environment, body, and mind. This includes heterosexual, homosexual, and beastiality. This is what a Buddhist monastic is expected to follow – whilst a lay-person may get married and have children – providing there is an element of sexual control. This often comes down to use in the West as “No Adultery” – but in the old Pali Suttas, it is explained in a slightly different manner. In the time of the Buddha, a rich lay-man could marry up to four wives – and as it was the Hindu custom for a man to marry sisters – the Buddha advised that “control” in this instance was not to engage in sexual activity with anyone outside his wife’s family. Replacing this with “Adultery” is a clear example of how the bourgeois (Christian) West has tinkered with Asian Buddhism – and attempted to alter its essential nature. Adultery in the monogamous (modern) West is not the same as adultery in polygamous (ancient) India.

PRC Buddhism is Socialist!

BMA-UK: Zhao Zhihao (赵志浩) – Promoting the Further Sinicization of Buddhism & Integration with Socialist Society! (3.8.2026)

As the Mahayana Sutras became more popular in China than the Pali Suttas – the idea of strict vegetarianism (which had spread from India via various Vinaya Discipline texts) took root (even though it was only meant initially for the monastic order). Buddhist vegetarianism was not invented in China (as the author of the below [translated] text seems to imply). It is true that at least two Emperors in China did ban meat-eating in their respective countries – and instigated an expansive vegetarianism amongst the general public (Buddhist and non-Buddhist). This meant that Buddhist monastic vegetarianism was spread throughout the Buddhist laity and beyond – and this was a transformation of Buddhist practice in general that has persisted into modern times. Much, if not all of the interfacing Chinese philosophy that at least gave structure to Chinese Ch’an (Dhyana) Buddhism arose from the “Change Classic”

Nepal: The Curious Case of the “Buddha Boy” – His Paedophilic Conviction – Imprisonment – and High Court Acquittal! (18.7.2026)

What I do not understand is how one court can convict him premised upon the evidence pertaining to over a decade of complaints – and then a High Court “acquit” him of all charges. More to the point, nobody seems outraged by any of this. Either the “Buddha Boy” was set-up and falsely accused by an out of control Nepalese version of “metoo” – or he is a very dangerous sexual predator who has been “let-off” by an equally corrupt Nepalese justice system. So, which is it? Bear in mind that in countries outside of Europe – and not subject to religious indoctrination – the dichotomising Judeo-Christian sense of “good” and “evil” does not exist. Within Buddhist morality, there is the false path of following greed, hatred, and delusion – and the correct path of uprooting greed, hatred, and delusion. As there is no “god” concept punishing each of us for our actions – we are responsible for what we think, feel, and experience. As greed, hatred, and delusion are suffering inducing – it logically follows that non-greed, non-hatred, and non-delusion is the path that does not induce suffering. Of course, all this will be viewed in Nepal as being a product of “karma” – or a type of morally-enthused “cause and effect” pertaining to each individual. For us in the West, as debauched as we are, drunk on the fruits of hundreds of years of deluded imperialism, all this is something akin to a “fetish” form of gossip regarding the exotic “East” – and the strange behaviour of these odd little people!

China: It Takes Time to Repair the US Lies About Tibet! (3.5.2026)

Mind you, he once chaired a meeting a Ruskin House in Croydon asking the bizarre question as to whether the USSR was “right” to fight the Nazi Germans during WWII – with the Trotskyite bias that it was not! And on and on it goes. Of course, it is the young who are vulnerable to this type of dishonesty on the left – as it drives them to the right. Not only that, but the current left is riddled with White dominance and perpetuates just as much racism as the right – whilst denying it is doing so. The corrupt left likes to pretend that whilst the White middle-class dominate it – the racism it displays does not exist. All lies of the highest calibre. Again, if you read Marx, Engels, Lenin, Stalin, Mao, Ho, and Che, etc, none of this is new and we must all battle every generation to make genuine Marxist-Leninism available for each new generation. The Morning Star eulogises the mirky world of professional boxing when everyone knows it is a thoroughly exploitative vehicle for the rich to pay the poor to beat each other up for the entertainment of the latter. The CPB continuously demands that its members support the bourgeois Labour Party – which proscribed the Communist Party in 1921. Trotsky would not only turn in his grave – but build a three-storey extension to celebrate this ridiculous revisionnism!

Meditating Cells Skellig Michael - Ireland

BMA-UK: Qumran: How Meditating Jews Borrowed from Buddhism to Build Christian Monasticism! (12.4.2026)

The Jewish community in Qumran chose to sit in meditation cells to seek a communion with their god. Why did some Jews do this? This is not a Jewish tradition and is certainly not recognised as a Jewish practice – even in a peripheral sense. Meditating in a cave must have come into Judaism from an alien teaching and different culture. Two prime candidates are Buddhism and Hinduism – with the edge leaning toward Buddhism (due to the lack of polytheism). Not only this, but Buddhism was flourishing in India during the 3rd century BCE and the 1st century CE – the time era attributed to the Qumran texts (the Dead Sea Scrolls). Christian monasticism (as practiced by the Celtic Church) must have originated in Buddhist India – and was adopted by a small group of Jews in the Qumran area of the Judean Desert (situated on the North-western shore of the Dead Sea). This meditational practice was continued by the early Jewish followers of Jesus Christ and was spread to the Egyptian Desert – where the first (distinct) Christian monastic communities were first formed.

Laos Buddhist-Socialist Republic: Using Inner & Outer Culture to Construct Socialism! (4.2.2026)

Supplies arrived on the back of walking peasants – and/or soldiers, guerrillas, and volunteers riding bicycles, etc. These supplies came from the USSR and China, as well as other places. The Laotian people achieved their Revolution in 1975 – following the North Vietnamese victory other the US-derived South Vietnam regime. Indeed, it has been written that Laos has been the most bombed nation on earth – with the landscape full of bomb-craters and dangerous unexploded ordnance. Simce then, Laos Communist Party has been navigating the vaguaries and peculiarities of the political and cultural climate. Laos is a Buddhist-Socialist Republic which preserves a strong Theravada Buddhist tradition. As a consequence, Marxist-Leninism and Dhamma overlap and intersect seamlessly. By clicking the above link you will find a translated article on the BMA-UK site regarding how Laos is using inner and outer cultivation to build Socialism!
