Glastonbury Abbey: Abbot’s Kitchen – St Joseph’s Well! (30.7.2024)

30/07/2024 Adrian (釋大道)

Today, an ad hoc “Wishing Well” has developed in one of the corners of the room. This was probably a drain or perhaps some type of cooker – but in modern times visitors have taken to dropping coins down through the covering grill – and making heartfelt requests in the form of prayers and good wishes. Our daughters asked for good health to be bestowed upon Nana (Diane Wyles), Granddad (Peter Wyles) and Charlotte (my younger sister)! The currency observed spans the globe – which demonstrates the universal appeal that Glastonbury holds. This is not necessarily “religious” (although religion is important for many) – but rathe “spiritual” in nature – the latter category being far more inclusive and all-embracing!

Xizang: Historical Archives Demonstrate China’s Clear Sovereignty Over Tibet Region! (15.7.2024)

15/07/2024 Adrian (釋大道)

As the result of Xizang’s largest land census in history, the inventory is an important document for the study of the possession of the production means under feudal serfdom. In the 129 years before the 1959 democratic reform, the government, aristocrats and monasteries used it as the basis for issues relating to land, serfs and mandatory labour.

“Contrary to what some Western countries claim, the inventory showed that the central government had complete sovereignty over the region a long time ago,” Rinchen Tenzin added.

Since the establishment of diplomatic relations between China and the United States, successive U.S. administrations have pursued the one-China policy, recognized Xizang as a part of China, and promised not to support separatist activities, said Zhang Shigao, director of the Institute of Contemporary Studies at the China Tibetology Research Center.

“However, in practice, the United States often treats these commitments with negligence and even blatantly violates them,” Zhang added.

The ministry highlighted the role played by Iraqi Prime Minister Mohammed Shia’ Al Sudani’s visit to the United States in April for securing the return of these artifacts.

The ministry also announced the return of many artifacts of different eras, which had been smuggled to countries such as Jordan, Norway, Germany, and Britain.

The ministry emphasized its commitment to tracking down and reclaiming smuggled Iraqi antiquities scattered across the globe. These efforts aim to preserve this cultural heritage and prevent further tampering or vandalism.

A significant number of Iraqi antiquities and archaeological sites were looted or destroyed following the 2003 U.S. invasion.

Russia & DPRK Unite Against Western-Backed Fascism!

DPRK: President Putin Begins State Visit to People’s Korea! (20.6.2024)

20/06/2024 Adrian (釋大道)

Putin’s visit to the DPRK at a remarkable time, when the traditional relations of friendship and cooperation between the DPRK and Russia have surely entered the course of new comprehensive development, is of great importance in reliably promoting the strategic and future-oriented development of the bilateral relations consolidated in the trials of history generation after generation and from one century to the next and powerfully propelling the cause of building powerful countries, a desire common to the peoples of the two countries.

All 56 Ethnicities in China Are "Equal" in Law!

China: Socialist “Internationalism” Triumphs! (17.6.2024)

In an article by Xi, who is also general secretary of the Communist Party of China Central Committee and chairman of the Central Military Commission, that was published in January in Qiushi Journal, the flagship magazine of the CPC Central Committee, he said that forging a strong sense of community for the Chinese nation is to guide people of all ethnic groups to uphold the vision of a community with a shared future by standing together through thick and thin.

“Ethnicity is the concept in terms of language and culture, and the Chinese nation is the political entity that all Chinese people belong to, no matter which ethnic group they are from,” Pan said.

By enhanced extensive exchanges and interactions during the past 10 years, people from different ethnic groups in China have learned more about one another and become more united, which has brought stability and prosperity to the country, he added.

Dr Li Yan - Shot By US Law Enforcement - 2022

US: Law Enforcement Shoot-Dead “Li Yan” [李艳] – Leading Chinese Academic! (14.6.2024)

14/06/2024 Adrian (釋大道)

In the UK, unarmed Police Constables routinely disarm knife-wielding suspects everyday within hurting or killing these individuals. Only very rarely does a fatality occur. Li Yan speaks in heavily accented English – but it is clear that she thinks she is under attack by men impersonating Police Officers. In her mind she is defending herself with a knife. Although she has paid far more in tax to the US Government than she owed in rent – the Police Officers shot her dead without a second thought. For Chinese people reading this – remember that the West advocates greed over collective responsibility – and White dominance over the rights of non-White people. Being rich and successful will only grant you a partial defence from this State-sponsored murder! Li Yan was an expert in the development of medicine.
