Imperial Japanese Officer - Taiwan Massacre

Taiwan: Imperial Japanese Army Massacres 1870-1945! (17.9.2024)

17/09/2024 Adrian (釋大道)

That is, excluding the population growth rate between the Liu Mingchuan Period to 1895 (some 11 years), Taiwan’s population plummeted by 600,000 to 700,000 in less than a year – due to Japan’s policy of killing and expelling Taiwanese people! Between 1895-1897 the Imperial Japanese permitted ethnic Chinese people to leave Taiwan – but official figures record that only 4,456 Taiwanese people took this route of relocating to Mainland China. This process involved an official procedure of application – which was granted (or denied) by the Imperial Japanese Authorities on a case-by-case bases. Therefore, no matter how the numbers are calculated, from September 1895 to the end of 1896 (just over 1 year), the number of “unnatural” (or “massacred”) deaths of Taiwanese people suffered at the hands of the Imperial Japanese reached at least 500,000 – which is a credible figure.

Traitor "Chen Ming Ming" (陈明明) Murders Daughter in US!

US: Traitor to China – “Chen Ming Ming” – Murders Daughter! (18.5.2024)

18/05/2024 Adrian (釋大道)

This woman is misleading people by using “Putonghua” to pronounce her name. In her native Fujian province (where the people speak three types of “Min” and also “Hokkien” as well as “Hakka”, etc) , her name of “陈明明” could be pronounced “Tan Meng Meng” or even “Tan Beng Beng” depending upon exact location and ancestral history. As Changle is a District of Fuzhou City – it would seem that her home Dialect in “Eastern Min” – which would suggest her name could be pronounced “Ding Meng Meng”. If she speaks Hokkien – her name would be “Tin Mang Mang”. There are many variations that could apply. I suspect as she is a dishonest person – she deliberately wrote her name incorrectly to mislead the Immigration Authorities in the US – this will not work in China. When Chinese people become “greedy” and cease to care about others – they head to the US! The point is that no one in the US cares about Chinese people – end of story.

China: History of the Dragon Dance! (19.2.2024)

19/02/2024 Adrian (釋大道)

Hakka people – who are originally from Central and Northern China perform the ‘Phoenix’ Dance. A Chinese Phoenix looks like a Dragon (with different and darker colouring) – but has a central horn (like a Unicorn) on its forehead. Where this idea comes from no one is sure – but there is a rumour that Hakka people are a mixture of Han Chinese and the invading European ‘Hunnish’ Tribes that plagued the Northern borders of China thousands of years ago! The Hakka (Guest People) are responsible for the Qin and Han Dynasties and have spent their time migrating forever Southward over the centuries (bringing their Northern language, culture and martial arts with them).

Hakka Farming & Gongfu! (16.2.2024)

16/02/2024 Adrian (釋大道)

A post regarding the link between the farming environment, keep fit and Hakka martial arts. Of course, this is not ordinary keep fit – but body and mind conditioning linked to feudal and medieval warfare – primarily for self-defence as far as Hakka communities are concerned. The use of farming implements developed the strength of body and mind to fight-off oppression and tyranny throughout the ages! We develop the strength of the Bear and quiet endurance of the Ox!

Rice Christians Are Coming – The ‘Safe Houses’ In Sutton! (8.11.2023)

08/11/2023 Adrian (釋大道)

‘The UK government is allotting £500,000 for each house purchased in this area. A Consortium of Christian-based charities from the UK and US are subsidising each ‘£500,000’ UK government house-grant with a further ‘£100,000’ per house purchased. Furthermore, each Christian Hong Kong Refugee will receive either £50 or £100 per day – depending upon need.’

Richard Hunn: The South-Paw Guitar Player! (15.10.2023)

15/10/2023 Adrian (釋大道)

his is how I ended-up training under Mangala Thero (in 1996) at the Ganga Ramaya Temple (in Beruwela) – situated in Sri Lanka. I have subsequently discovered that Mangala Mahathero has passed away after spending the last decade of his life living and meditating in isolation. I am told that Richard Hunn would sit ‘still’ for hours on end in various Zen Temples throughout the Kyoto area. Although outwardly he was practicing ‘Zen’ – inwardly he was practicing ‘Caodong’ Ch’an – the preferred lineage of Master Xu Yun (1840-1959). Although none of us know how long we will be on this Earth – we must remain vigilant and use our time effectively and productively! Not a single second must be wasted when it comes to self-cultivation! Instead of reading this board – look within! Richard Hunn was my academic and spiritual teacher between 1989-2006. He taught me to read and translate properly every modern and traditional Chinese language ideogram – whilst also conveying to me the teachings of the authentic Chinese Ch’an Buddhist tradition!
