Joint Leadership Statement of Unity: Issued by the Arab Socialist Action Party (Lebanon) & Popular Democratic Party! (19.10.2023)

19/10/2023 Adrian (釋大道)

Today, your minds and bodies are restrained by your Western governments which support the Zionist terrorism of Israel! They do this by confiscating your free conscience and your loud voice in the face of organized International Terrorism led by American imperialism – the Head of International Terrorism! The US influence besieges the headquarters of your governments and Parliaments! Oppose this US tyranny by raising the flags of Palestine in villages, towns and cities! Fly the Palestinian flag from balconies and let your voices sing-out in support of Palestine! The battle of the Palestinian people is a solid pillar in the battle to liberate humanity from fascism, Nazism, US hegemony, organized plunder, racial discrimination, and all the US and Isreali wars of extermination against humanity!

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!

DPRK: Canada is Foolishly Fanning the Flames! (11.10.2023)

11/10/2023 Adrian (釋大道)

Finding infinite satisfaction and relief in blindly following one’s master without any wise opinions is a natural result for Canadians.

It is no coincidence that the international community unanimously evaluates Canada’s active efforts for peace and security in the Asia-Pacific region as nothing more than an attempt to prove its loyalty to the United States.

If Canada continues to act like a servant of the United States – it will only have the reputation of being the “51st state” of the United States like the “Republic of Korea.”

Canada must be fully aware that countries in the Asia-Pacific region are keeping a close eye on its reckless actions, and must put an end to its pointless actions that harm its own interests.

China Commemorates Anniversary of War Against Japanese Aggression [1931-1945]! (18.9.2023)

About 3 km from the museum lies the Beidaying (Northern Grand Barracks) site that the Japanese troops bombarded. It officially reopened to visitors as an exhibition hall after renovations at the end of 2021.

Through more than 400 historical photos, over 200 relics, electronic maps, scene restorations, panoramic sand tables and other modern techniques, visitors can revisit the history at the exhibition hall.

Wang Lei, a resident of Shenyang, who lives near the former site of the Beidaying Site, said, “There were a few ordinary bungalows here, but now the site has been turned into an exhibition hall. It is very important to remember the history of the war. We should let young people know that this is the place where our national calamity occurred.”

Japanese Scholar: “Truths in History Needs to be Told to More People!” (18.9.2023)

18/09/2023 Adrian (釋大道)

According to Matsuno, Japan’s WWII-related records have been transferred to the National Archives of Japan (NAJ) by the Ministry of Health, Labour, and Welfare, while some diplomatic and military-related documents are kept by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Ministry of Defense.

Every once in a while, the NAJ would release batches of newly processed historical materials, among which Matsuno spotted the recently discovered documents.

The researcher pointed out that even when new materials are made available, they can remain obscure without substantial expertise and research skills, as searching for information using keywords like “Unit 731” or “epidemic prevention unit” yields little results.

The Lost Art of Kuriso Zen! (9.9.2023)

08/09/2023 Adrian (釋大道)

This is a vitally important question which has seen entire departments formed in the Japanese corporate monoliths of Saga and Nintendo – tasked with discovering the exact reality of ‘Kuriso’ Zen – and what the implications might mean for the Japanese Nation and the broader Japanese gaming community as a whole. As is typical with many Sects of popular Buddhism throughout Japanese history, the entire edifice of Buddhist ideology pertaining to a single School is reduced to a single (and simple) ‘mantra’ – or combination of sacred noises contained in a single sentence. Within the ‘Kuriso’ Zen, for instance, the established mantra is as follows:

« 1 … 12 13 14 15 16 … 35 »
