China Condems EU “Anti-Tibet” Racism Whilst Exposing EU “Anti-Gaza” Hypocrisy! (20.12.2023)

20/12/2023 Adrian (釋大道)

GAZA, Dec. 19 (Xinhua) — The death toll of Palestinians from Israeli attacks in the Gaza Strip has risen to 19,667, and 52,586 others were wounded since Oct. 7, the Hamas-run Health Ministry said on Tuesday.

Meanwhile, Palestinian deaths and injuries from Israeli raids in the West Bank climbed to 301 and 3,365, respectively, according to the ministry.

In Gaza, over the past 24 hours, 214 Palestinians were killed, and 300 others injured in Israel’s raids, while a large number of victims were still under the rubble, Ashraf Al-Qedra, Health Ministry spokesman, said at a press conference held in the southern Gaza Strip.

Al-Qedra accused the Israeli army of destroying hospitals in northern Gaza Strip and putting them out of service.

When Blog “Censorship” is in the Air – We Fight Harder! (15.12.2023)

15/12/2023 Adrian (釋大道)

When we – the workers – break this chain of abuse, we rise-up and take direct action against those who harms us. Between these Revolutionary events, we make the best of it whilst having to live within predatory capitalism. For many, poverty, disability, and illness reduce us to mere automatons being at the mercy of those who do not care whether we live or die. For others, like myself, we use our minds and bodies within the existing legal framework to resist the excesses of capitalism and help those who are like us. This blog is purely educational and opposes class oppression. I hope others draw strength from these Proletariat words and take these leftwing (Communist) ideas into the material world – and effectively fight injustice. I make no secret that I am a Marxist-Leninist-Stalinist-Maoist – and admire hundreds of others such as Fidel Castro, Che Guevara, Ho Chi Minh and General Giap! We must stand-up for the workers and advance with courage against the bullets of the Bourgeoisie. Do not be afraid. If and when they kill us – we are free from the suffering inflicted upon our minds and bodies!

The centre added that the names of about 50 children released in the recent exchange deal and other children who were detained for several hours or days, were circulated to the school administrations affiliated with the so-called Ministry of Education and the occupation municipality in Jerusalem, to ensure that they do not return to school until further notice.

US: Pro-Zionist “Hate Crimes” Flourish in Land of the Free! (27.11.2023)

27/11/2023 Adrian (釋大道)

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Expatriates condemned in the strongest terms the shooting crime against the three Palestinian students.

The Ministry called on the American authorities to quickly arrest the criminal, investigate him, hold him accountable, and inform them of the results of the investigations, wishing a speedy recovery for the students.

On October 16, a Palestinian child and his mother were stabbed in the town of Plainfield, Illinois, by a 71-year-old man, who killed the child and seriously injured the mother.

The police accused the man of committing a hate crime against the child, 6, and his mother, 32, saying that the two victims were targeted because of their Islamic faith.

Venerable Old Master Xu Yun [虚云]: No Difference Between a Monk and a Lay-Person! (14.10.2023)

14/10/2023 Adrian (釋大道)

For instance, by cross-referencing the below May 1955 Dharma-Talk with the text of ‘Empty Cloud’ for that year – a more all-round picture can be built of exactly what was happening and how Master Xu Yun was reacting to it. To be clear, Master Xu Yun was adamant that an ordained Buddhist monastic must follow ALL the rules of the Vinaya Discipline and that a lay-person must follow a least five, eight or ten of the basic vows contained in the Vinaya Discipline. This is a practical distinction Master Xu Yun upheld – as he rejected the Japanese Zen tradition of monks being allowed to eat meat, drink alcohol and get married. Such individuals are ‘lay-people’ and NOT monks. This being the case, what is Master Xu Yun referring to when he states that there is ‘no difference’ between the ordained Sangha and the laity?

Why China Should Use ‘British’ English in its Official Translations! (11.9.2023)

11/09/2023 Adrian (釋大道)

Furthermore, there is no such entity as ‘British’ English – as this is an insulting designation that reduces our original language of ‘English’ to a relative construct, or just one version amongst many. This is similar to reducing Chinese script to the scripts as developed by its Korean or Japanese cousins. Indeed, American-English is a vehicle which has been historically developed and designed to express a) US anti-intellectualism, and b) US racial (anti-Chinese) attitudes. This is why I reject the Chinese State habit of officially using ‘American-English’ when translating Chinese-language articles into ‘English’. The English language as spoken and written in the UK is ancient and historically pre-exists any modern notions of Western racism (unlike its Ameican counter-part – which expresses the racism within which US culture has developed). Therefore, the English as used in the UK possesses a historical ‘strength in depth’ – that can be moulded in any direction as required.
