Cuba: Laotian Buddhist-Socialist Republic Delegation in State Visit! (17.9.2023)

On the occasion of the meeting with the leaders of the Republic of Cuba, Comrade Thongloun Sisoulith reaffirmed the consistent policy of the Communist Party and the Government of Laos towards the Communist Party and the Government of Cuba in the struggle in the regional and international arena, including the struggle to end the blockade of Cuba that has lasted for more than 60 years and expressed the success and victory that the Communist Party, the Government and the People of Cuba have achieved in protecting the results of the Revolution and the development of the country – as well as congratulating Cuba for hosting the summit of the Group of 77 countries and China at this time – which shows the international confidence and recognition of Cuba’s role in the international arena.

Southeast Asia: Britain (and the US) Must NOT Be Allowed To Infiltrate the Region! (5.9.2023)

This has included the wasting of millions of pounds upon the housing and financing of so-called ‘Ukrainian’ Neo-Nazi ‘refugees’ – whilst British people go homeless, suffer starvation and die from medical neglect (as the Tories try to transform the UK into a second-rate US State). Poverty in the UK is rife amongst the working-class – so why is this unelected Tory government wasting UK tax-payer money on Neo-Nazi ‘tourists’ – and what is considered by many Tories to be an ‘obscure’ Southeast Asian (Socialist) State? The answer is that the ‘US’ has ordered the UK to attempt a political counter-strike in Southeast Asia by enacting a charm offensive against the perceived influence of ‘China’ in the region! The UK is wasting (again) millions of pounds in Laos (a Buddhist country I support) – but this will not appear in the mainstream UK press simply because the Tories do not want the general public knowing exactly what they have been doing in their name and with their tax money!

Laos Buddhist Socialist Republic: Laos-British Ministry of Foreign Affairs Strengthen Cooperation! (5.9.2023)

In this meeting, the two sides appreciated the friendship and good cooperation between the Laos PDR and the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland throughout the past period, and expressed a determination for this interaction to continue and grow in support one other. The two sides discussed various aspects of cooperation, such as politics, trade-investment and British aid projects in Laos, such as the Unexploded Ordnance Clearance Project (leftover from the US aggression in the region), the Biodiverse Landscape Fund (BLF), the Youth Empowerment Project (Lone Buffalo), the Health Sector Cooperation Project (Fleming Fund) – whilst the NHS is cut in the UK – and others. In addition, the two sides also exchanged opinions on the ASEAN-UK Cooperation Framework, and the Laos ASEAN chairmanship in 2024 and some outstanding situations that both sides are interested in.

China: Gansu Buddhist ‘Smile of the Orient’ Said to Equal That of the ‘Mona Lisa’! (5.9.2023)

The early Buddhist groups in China mirrored that of the extant Confucian scholiastic system – often forming around married laymen – with disciples taking the surname of the teacher as their ‘Dharma-Name’ and essentially becoming an extension of his family. Grottoes such as that featured below were places where Buddhists could meet, share and practice their understanding of Indian Buddhist philosophy. An understanding of Buddhist monasticism started to arrive and distinguish itself in China from the existing lay-practice around the 5th century CE – the date I believe this ‘smiling’ monk appears to date from. Whereas Buddhist lay-practitioners did not shave their heads (like Daoists and Confucians) – monastic Buddhists (male and female) were required to shave their heads – indicative of their ‘rejecting’ of the desire-laden conventions that define, guide and justify the external world.

Neo-Nazi Ukraine: Buddhists in the Russian Army! (15.8.2023)

The Kalmyks are of Mongolian ethnic origin and originate from North Xinjiang – an area invaded by the Tibetans. As the Tibetans converted to Buddhism – this philosophy was spread through the empire they had carved out for themselves as barbarians. As Lamaism is a corrupt form of feudal (landlord) Buddhism – there is evidence to suggest that various ethnic groups living within Tibetan-controlled territory (which included West China) were ‘forced’ into adopting Buddhism. This is how I suspect the Kalmyk people became ‘Tibetan Buddhist’. Indeed, it is how most Mongolians living in South and West China were originally ‘converted’ to this Indian religion.

Laos Buddhist-Socialist Republic: Correct Use & Management of Online Data! (12.8.2023)

Mr. Somsawat Phongsa also stated that social media has both a positive and negative aspect related to the contemporary way of human life. The positive aspect is that it helps to communicate all types of data quickly – so that contemporary world events can be recognized within minutes. At the same time, there are still a number of people who do not know (or are not aware of) how social media can be used in the wrong way – such as broadcasting information that distorts the truth and which is intended to benefit themselves at the expense of harming others.
