UK: Enriched “Shen” – Sometimes Termed “Elixir” in Daoist Texts! (8.9.2026)

08/09/2026 Adrian (釋大道)

I did manage to write a biographical article about Zhao Ming Wang and get it published in the West – but I have always been battling the anti-China ideology permeating from the US – even from amongst some ethnic Chinese people living abroad. Then there are the “fake” Daoist lineages in the West that are inherently linked to the capitalist system – where they think their “income” equals “authenticity”. Those “who know” in and around the Chinese community simply laugh at this pseudo-Daoism. It is the same with Chinese martial arts (gongfu) – where affluent (fake) teachers link their income to being a genuine lineage. So be it. I have lived in and around the Chinese community for decades – and such a cultural setting has become my (personal) and academic speciality. Practicing the Dao requires full breathing, loosening the belt, and sitting quietly. This has to done properly and all the lessons need to be learned.

US: Qi Journal – My Published “Great Treatise” Translation! (26.12.2025)

26/12/2025 Adrian (釋大道)

This material will be published throughout numerous (and obscure) academic journals – but I will make every effort to have a version published for “free access” on the internet. The fee I charge is that your return the six senses a) to the empty mind ground, and that b) you allow the empty mind ground to expand to embrace the entire environment. As you can see, this is a much higher price than just an ordinary exchange of money – be it supposedly empowered metal or paper. Here is the problem – I will accept no other payment for my work – but I will not “demand” in a dogmatic manner. Your realisation of “freedom” is entirely a matter of your own affair. Look within properly – or do not – the choice is yours. I will not alter my charge regardless of your decision. I will not stop you reading – as reading is the first-step.

Ryukyu: 1629 Ming Dynasty Edict Proves Okinawa Part of China! (17.12.2025)

17/12/2025 Adrian (釋大道)

The Okinawan King had instigated Chinese language as the official means of communication, Chinese Confucianism as State-creed, Chinese Buddhism as a spiritual practice, and Chinese Daoism as a health system. Okinawa militarily aligned itself with China’s policies and the Okinawan people practiced Chinese martial arts via the instruction of visiting Masters. Meanwhile, Okinawans were encouraged to visit Fujian province and learn the Chinese culture on offer – including martial arts (the origin of Goju Ryu Karate-Do). The Japanese invaded Okinawa in 1629 – but could only establish a limited Embassy. In 1879, the Imperial Japanese Empire invaded Okinawa and forcibly expelled any and all Chinese individuals and influences. Following a horrific experience during WWII – Japan today views the Okinawans as being both “sub-human” and “non-Japanese” – this is why US Military Bases are stationed on Okinawa (US soldiers often rape Okinawan school girls – and it is treated as a joke in Japan and the US). Okinawa should return to China.

Cameroon: International Day of Persons with Disabilities – Chinese Martial Arts in Africa! (4.12.2025)

04/12/2025 Adrian (釋大道)

The “International Day of Persons with Disabilities” (December 3rd) has come and gone with a more less universal indifference – except in the Socialist countries. Whilst disabled people are abused, killed, and starved to death in the UK – the Labour Government gives the President of Germany a lavish State Visit! The expense of this can be added to the unlimited spending dedicated to Neo-Nazi Ukraine and Zionist Israel Disability in China is taken seriously – with much progression and resources directed to it. Wherever China exercises influences – those with disability benefit. I have added the above article to our family gongfu website.

Chinese Stone from Mount Emei Found in Switzerland! (25.10.2025)

25/10/2025 Adrian (釋大道)

According to reports, on Sept. 29, 2014, a 2.6-metric-ton conglomerate rock from Mount Rigi was installed at the Golden Summit of Mount Emei. In return, on July 31, 2015, an 8-metric-ton basalt rock from Mount Emei was set up at Rigi’s summit, Rigi Kulm.

According to the Leshan municipal government website, Emei and Rigi officially became sister mountains in 2009. The two sides agreed to exchange rocks to be placed at both summits as symbols of friendship.

The Mount Emei stone is a basalt rock formed around 260 million years ago. It is 2.6 meters tall, 1.5 metres wide, 1.5 metres thick at its deepest point, and weighs about 8.05 metric tons. (Gong Weiwei)

After Shi Yongxin got into trouble, his brother – Liu Yingbiao – quite literally disappeared from public view – with the media reporting that he has gone “missing”.
