London: Happy Chinese New Year [恭喜發財 – Gung Hay Fat Choi] 2025-4723! (29.1.2025)

29/01/2025 Adrian (釋大道)

In otherwards, by showing respect to one another (humanity) animals, plants, and nature – a great inner happiness is generated that flows outward through society and generates all kinds of inner and outer wealth (not just material wealth – but also intellectual, emotional and spiritual). This is the proper use of Confucianism ideology – not distorted by governments and classes that have ulterior motives used to control the masses through deception. The Qing Dynasty (1644-1911 CE) was originally “foreign” (Manchurian-Jurchen) – and distorted Confucian thinking so as to paralyse Chinese society and prevent its development. Today, the Jurchen are now considered “Chinese” – and Confucianism is used to emphasise “education” and “self-cultivation”.

Chinese New Year - 2926-4723! - Year of the [Yin] Wood Green Snake!

Chinese New Year [2025-4723] Year of the [Yin] Wood Green Snake! (15.1.2025)

Wearing red is not limited to red clothes, red socks, and red belts, but can also be red jewellery, red mobile phone cases, as long as the items you carry with you are red.

There are two special days when wearing red is appropriate:

i) The first day of the first lunar month, during the Spring Festival, wearing red can add to the festive mood.

ii) The second is the beginning of Spring. As the beginning of the year, the beginning of Spring means the start of a new cycle.

Within China, there is a custom of “Avoiding Spring” (避春 – Bi Chun) at the beginning of Spring, that is, avoiding offending the numerous “Tai Sui” (太岁 – “Grand Aged”) gods that equate to the 12 stars opposite Jupiter (later expanded to 60 deities) – so people choose to wear red on this day in the hope of bringing good luck.

Everyone shapes their own destiny. Hard work, kindness and wise choices will help you succeed.

No matter what – I hope everyone will experience a smooth journey throughout the Year of the Snake (2025-4723) and welcome the arrival of boundless happiness and good luck!

The schoolchildren were greatly excited with the highest happiness and honour as they would receive warm blessings of the respected fatherly Marshal Kim Jong Un, whom they wanted to see so much, in the yard of the Party Central Committee which they have always kept in their hearts though they live in an alien land far from their homeland.

UK: Doctor Who, Billy Lipton, and Social Engineering! (29.12.2024)

29/12/2024 Adrian (釋大道)

Of course, those that run the BBC are behind this nonsense and deformation. My point is that the Doctor is the essence of toleration. We do not need to see everything he is “tolerating” being paraded (as if on a conveyor-belt) in every episode – as Doctor Who is first and foremost an “escape” from reality! It should not be a reflection of reality or a confirmation of reality. If this neutral position is msintained as a foundation – then every type of realty (not just one preferred reality) can be shown on the screen at different times in such a manner that does not illicit a moral resistance from the audience. As the situation stands, Doctor Who has become a ghetto for one type of existence – and this seems designed to kill-off the series on the BBC insulting the British people to oblivion. This is the same BBC that has supported Neo-Nazi Ukaine from 2014 – and is currently ignoring the Israeli “Genocide” that is unfolding in Gaza! The current incarnation of the BBC possesses NO moral foundation – so how can we trust it to produce a morally wholsesome Doctor Who?

China: Ma Baoguo [马保国] – Latest Hot Dance in Nightclubs🤣! (16.12.2024)

16/12/2024 Adrian (釋大道)

I previously wrote about “The Antics of ‘Master’ Ma Baoguo (马保国)!” on our family martial arts blog! When I first saw his comic movement – I thought he was the “Chinese” Charlie Chaplin! Of course, at the peak of his income, Mr Ma could generate alot of income – trading-off the idea that he was a “Qigong Master”! Even the Chinese government has been forced to intercede on the grounds that this lovable fool might be doing himself “harm” will all the strange and exotic things he does for publicity. Why on earth a man well into his 60s would voluntarily attend a stage in a bustling Nightclub is beyond me! Whatever the reason9s) – his comic genius is once again on full display!

Winning a Chinese knot, Maksym Antonchenko said he has gained a deeper understanding of Chinese culture.

Rita Micallef, a teacher, told Xinhua that the students enjoyed the experience. “I do that as well,” she said, sharing her personal interest in Chinese films and her efforts to learn Chinese.
