Moorfields NHS Eye Hospital: Kay Lovesah’s Faces of London (11.3.2019)

Those disabled people who have survived this ‘cull’ are expected to get jobs that do not exist, in a ruthless system that does not have to lawfully employ them! Many disabled people have cognitive impairments, or such debilitating illness, injuries and genetic issues that mean they cannot survive on their own in the brutal system that is predatory capitalism. Some people have disabilities that are not obvious and can be hidden from view, or suitably engaged in some other form of employment, whilst they move through life trying the best they can. Today, whilst visiting Moorfields NHS Eye Hospital in London for a checkup, I came across the work of Kay Lovesah being exhibited. I do not know Kay Lovesah and what I write here are only my own viewpoints presented my personal blog, but Kay Lovesah has taken a disability and adapted it to positively serve her impulse to produce artwork of a professional standard.

The Sangha Kommune (僧伽公社) – A Place of Spiritual and Physical Growth! (Founded 16.2.2010)

The Chinese Buddhist monastic community is referred to as a ‘Sangha’ (Sanskrit for ‘spiritual community’), whereby men and women form a voluntary association premised upon following a strict set of rules known as the ‘Vinaya Discipline’. Within this community, there is ‘equality’ between all members, with the leaders being those who have followed these rules for the longest times. This is because such people are thought to have more experience at adhering to the Vinaya Discipline (which includes celibacy and vegetarianism), and are therefore able to effectively advise all others through the difficult times they my face in their practice. As those with little experience have less to share, they are not considered leaders whilst more experienced practitioners live in the vicinity.
