China: Manor-Turned Museum Tells Changes of Life in Tibet! (29.3.2023)

29/03/2023 Adrian (釋大道)

Tibet is the first provincial-level region in China to provide 15 years of publicly funded education, from kindergarten all the way up to senior high school. By contrast, there was not a single proper school, and the illiteracy rate among young people exceeded 95 percent in old Tibet.

The changes in Tibet are a vivid epitome of China’s reform and development. Chinese modernization is the only correct choice for building a strong country and advancing national rejuvenation, said Yan Jinhai, head of the regional government, in a speech marking the historical movement that ended serfdom in Tibet 64 years ago.

In the past 10 years, Yan said, Tibet has achieved high-quality development, maintained rapid economic growth, and heavily invested in education, medical care, culture, housing, employment, and social security. Tibet has shaken off absolute poverty and kept on pace with the whole country in building a moderately prosperous society in all respects.

“My wish now is to live longer and enjoy the life I currently have,” Norbu Tsering said. (Video reporters: Cao Bin, Tenzing Nima Qadhup, Sun Fei; video editors: Miao Zhuang, Mu Xuyao, Hong Yan)

William Burroughs – Spending Working-Class ‘Leisure’ Time is NOT Revolution! (22.2.2023)

22/02/2023 Adrian (釋大道)

As well as this chemically altered perception – Burroughs would participate in all kinds of deviant sexual activity – which he admitted in his books also included the ‘illegal’. How did the hypocritical Bourgeoisie respond to these revelations? By turning a blind-eye, of course, Everything that titillated the Bourgeois imagination was viewed as prime examples of an ‘alternative’ lifestyle well-lived, whilst anything that was or could be ‘illegal’ was simply declared as ‘imagination’ and pure ‘art’ – and nothing else was said! Losing control of the material world is NOT Revolution and is the process of effectively ‘abandoning’ the field to the opposition. Participating in various forms of illegal and/or sexual deviancy (as a form of ‘lack of control’) is nothing more than William Burroughs letting his ‘Bourgeois’ side shine through!

What ‘Chinese New Year’ Looks Like in South London! (22.1.2023)

22/01/2023 Adrian (釋大道)

It is the Year of the ‘White’ Rabbit and the traditional year in China is ‘4721’ since the reign of the Yellow Emperor! This surprises many people, as all they have known throughout their lives is the Judeo-Christian calendar. As this calendar became ‘secularised’ due to the rise of the rich merchants (Bourgeoisie), the industralisation of society and the development of capitalism – many ‘Socialist’ countries have adopted its use as an expedient device designed to aid international relations – and China is no exception. Of course, we are effectively discussing comparative mythology, but my point is that China currently represents the ‘oldest’, ‘continuous’ and ‘unbroken’ culture in the world – and not the ‘West’. Today, the temperature is 3 – Celsius in Sutton, South London, and I do not think any sane rabbit would be hopping about amongst the crisp frost! Whilst the family still slumbers – I thought I would share a video and some photographs whilst hoping the Revolution will come sooner rather than later – and that all the unjust suffering humanity is experiencing due to the capitalist system will be brought to an end! We can live in hope!

South Korea: US Colonisation Not Going to Plan! (30.10.2022)

30/10/2022 Adrian (釋大道)

Since 1945, the US has pursued a vicious (militarised) policy of brutal colonisation and the wiping-out of indigenous Korean religion and spirituality – in a futile attempt to prevent the growth of ‘Socialist’ ideology amongst the ethnic Korean people living to the ‘South’ of the 38th Parallel! The intensity of this destructive policy increased considerably in 1953 following the US defeat during the US War of Aggression in Korea (1950-1953)! White, Christian Missionaries roam completely unopposed throughout South Korea – encouraging the young to abandon the traditions of their parents and grandparents as part of the process of the destruction of their indigeous culture! This includes Americanisation in everyway – and the enforced importation of the US distortion of the ancient (Pagan) ritual of ‘Ancestor Worship’ from Celtic Europe! All Hallows Eve not only has very little to do with contemporary European culture – but its modern variant of ‘Halloween’ has absolutely NO place within South Korea! The only hope for South Korea is the full Unification with North Korea!
