A Saturday Morning Trip to the Honey-Shop!

The Galmpton “Honour System” – Walking to the Honey-Shop on a Saturday Morning! (30.8.2025)

30/08/2025 Adrian (釋大道)

Having stayed in Galampton a number of times now – my parent’s house is full of various medical paraphernalia – we noticed a sign (one of many) outside a beautiful brick-work #(chocolate-box) cottage – advertising local honey. Although this sign is a permanent fixture, we were never quite sure if the honey is available all year round – and we did not want to bother the owners. I could just imagine a startled villager as their sedate and isolated cottage is over-ran by a loud South London family – and their two-dogs!

Medical Internationalism Exercised By PRC!

Ethiopia: China Donates Medical Supplies to Ethiopia-China Friendship Hospital! (4.6.2025)

04/07/2025 Adrian (釋大道)

Liu Junying, head of the 25th batch of the Chinese medical team, said his team, which began work at Tirunesh-Beijing Hospital in May 2024, has been delivering medical services to Ethiopian communities as part of the long-standing Sino-Ethiopian health cooperation. He further reiterated China’s commitment to sending successive medical teams to provide healthcare for Ethiopians in need, while also sharing expertise with local medical professionals. The newly dispatched 26th Chinese medical team, consisting of 16 specialists across various fields, continues China’s medical mission to Ethiopia, which has been serving the local population since the 1970s.

The Buddha & Secular Enlightenment! (3.7.2025)

03/07/2025 Adrian (釋大道)

If this was the case, why did the Buddha reject Brahmanism? Why did the Buddha bite the hand that fed him? Well, he practiced all the available meditative paths, mastered them all, and realised none of them expressed the ultimate truth. He carried-on training in meditation as the Upanishads advised – and saw through all the conditioning of his mind, body, and environment. He gave up caste privilege and all work for money. He knew that this would lead to starvation, homelessness, and nakedness. He resolved these issues by dressing himself in rags found in the charnel grounds (the clothing of dead who were to poor to be cremated), he acquired the skull-cap of a dead person and used it as a begging bowl as he walked from village to village quietly requesting waste-food on a daily basis, and he sat under the foot of a tree when he meditated. The Buddha left society and lived on the forested outskirts of Hindu society. Of course, the Buddha still physically lived in India, and interfaced with Hindu society, but he did this under a completely new contract of understanding.

China: Historical Protocol Decided Regarding Reincarnation of Living Buddha! (2.7.2025)

02/07/2025 Adrian (釋大道)

It was not until 1780, when the sixth Panchen travelled to Chengde to offer birthday greetings to the Qianlong Emperor and reported on the matter, that the emperor accepted the appeals from the Panchen and other Tibetan Buddhist leaders to officially recognize Jampel Gyatso as the eighth Dalai Lama. In 1781, when the Qianlong Emperor formally conferred the title of the eighth Dalai Lama, he simultaneously affirmed Kelsang Gyatso as the seventh Dalai Lama and Tsangyang Gyatso as the sixth. This marked a direct clarification and ordering of the Dalai Lama reincarnation lineage from the perspective of the central government, highlighting the central government’s authority in managing the issue of the Dalai Lama’s reincarnation.

DPRK: Trump Threatens World with “Golden Dome”! (28.5.2025)

28/05/2025 Adrian (釋大道)

According to the memorandum, the U.S. plan for the “Golden Dome” missile defense system setting it as a goal to closely defend the Continent of North America from the ballistic missile, cruise missile and supersonic missile attack by its strategic enemy states is a typical product of “America first”, the height of self-righteousness, arrogance, high-handed and arbitrary practice, and is an outer space nuclear war scenario supporting the U.S. strategy for uni-polar domination with the preemptive establishment of the outer space-based military substructure, not a “defensive measure” to cope with the “threat” from someone.

GENEVA: WHO-WHA Rejects Taiwan-Related Proposal! (20.5.2025)

20/05/2025 Adrian (釋大道)

He noted that 183 countries have established official diplomatic relations with China on the basis of the one-China principle. Ahead of this year’s WHA session, many countries sent letters to the WHO reaffirming their support for this principle. This fully demonstrates that the one-China principle embodies the broad consensus of the international community.

China’s central government has always attached great importance to the well-being of Taiwan compatriots. Provided that the one-China principle is upheld, technical experts from Taiwan Province face no obstacles to participating in WHO activities, he added.

The so-called claim of a “gap” in the international pandemic prevention system is inconsistent with the facts and is purely a political manipulation, he said.
