Laos: Buddhist-Socialist Republic – Breaking Barriers – Transforming Immunization – Promoting Greater Gender Equality! (1.5.2025)

Khamsy’s story is common among rural communities and echo the new study’s stark statistic: 60 per cent of interviewed female caregivers reported a lack confidence in vaccine decisions, often deferring to husbands or elders. While in some cases mothers do lead vaccination decisions, particularly for routine immunization and HPV vaccines for girls, men in the family frequently hold the final authority, including the power to veto decisions. They also tend to have greater influence over vaccination choices for boys than mothers do. Regardless of who holds influence, the study highlights that adolescents generally have limited agency in making vaccination decisions, which are instead made primarily by parents and are often shaped by misinformation.

Email: “Nazis Kill Buddhists” – Plucking the Petals of the Lotus Library! (30.4.2025)

​Finally, I showed your comments to the ethnic Buddhists I know living in the Eastern States of Russia – they “laughed” and declared the so-called “Lotus Library” a thinly disguised (Eurocentric) project designed to spread a perverted (Christianised) version of Buddhism whilst perpetuating a false-Dhamma not seen since the days of Devadatta! Many of these Russian “Buddhists” have fought in the war against Ukrainian Neo-Nazism – or will be shortly joining the Russian Army to do so. The lesson you have obviously missed is that “Nazis Kill Buddhists” (the Hitlerites did this during WWII) – and Buddhist Suttas exist discussing how a soldier can practice the Dhamma even during times of war. Now, if you would be so kind as to remove my email address from your data-base – I can get on with teaching authentic Buddhism in peace.

Laos Dedicated to Socialism!

Laos: 70 Years Under the Leadership of the Lao People’s Revolutionary Party! (23.2.2025)

Mr. Sayadeth Phouyavong further emphasized: “To continue the mission of safeguarding and developing the nation, as well as leading the Lao people along the path to socialism, we must unite in the face of current economic and financial challenges. Party members, civil servants, the armed forces, and the multi-ethnic people of Laos must continue to support and trust the Party’s clear-sighted leadership. We must enhance our proactive role in implementing the two national agendas, particularly Resolution 04 of the Party Central Committee, which focuses on building an independent and self-reliant economy in the new era. Our goal is to strengthen the people’s democratic state, ensuring the people’s prosperity and happiness, and building a just and prosperous society.”

Life of the Buddha!

Laos: Buddhist Temple – “Golden Ground of Ram” [ວັດໃໝ່ ສຸວັນນະພູມາຣາມ – Wat Mai Suvanna Bhumi Ram]

Laos is a Socialist (Marxist-Leninist) State. Religious freedom is guaranteed as a private matter (through the separation of Temple and State) whilst Theravada Buddhism is the tradition religion of the people. Therefore, Laos may be considered a Buddhist-Socialist State – as the Buddhist Masters advocate Socialism and Dhamma in equal measure. In English, this old temple should be literally known as the “New Temple” – due to its relatively recent repair (just over 200-years) – by Royal Command. As to the Pali name – it translates as “Golden Ground of Ram” – “Ram” is an avatar of the Hindu god Vishnu. Throughout Southeast Asia and beyond, ancient Brahmanism spread far and wide from India – before the rise and spread of Buddhism. By the time Buddhism arrived in the region – Brahmanism was already in-place – with the Buddha being associated with Vishnu (even in modern India – many contemporary Hindus count the Buddha as an incarnation of Vishnu [Ram] sent to earth to encourage vegetarianism).
