UK: On Why Genuine Buddhism is “Anti-Capitalist”! (22.10.2026)

For most people the reality of everyday life involved a mutually supporting communal-activity (a “Sangha”) with “bartering” reserved for the importing or exporting of goods and services. Every member of such communities was a) entitled to all the goods and services of that community, and b) was expected to contribute to the generating of those goods and services. Within the Vinaya Discipline, the Buddha states that the lay-community may participate in any form of “honest” (bloodless) commerce that may (or may not) involve the handling of money (coinage or otherwise). A lay-household must ethically budget to a) supporting itself, and b) the broader community (through charitable donations) – as well as “saving” money (or goods) for emergencies and hard-times. Part of this lay-budgeting involves the lay-household giving waste food and water to the bhikkhus (beggars) of the Buddha as they slowly (and consciously) “walked” through their neighbourhood on a daily basis. The reward is karmically-premised – as this action permits these monastics to pursue the Dhamma in the purest manner. The bhikkhus are “freed” from the requirement of their participating in the world of cyclic existence and this attracts an immeasurable measure of great and good karma. (The situation in China is slightly different – as although the laity is free to donate as little or as much as they like [thus generating good karma] – the monastics must grow their own vegetarian food – and not be a burden to any other community). As for the bhikkhus (and bhikkhunis) there is to be NO participation in the worldly activities associated with commerce. This is because all greed, hatred, and delusion must be uprooted during meditation practice from the mind and body.

UK: Kai-Lin Feeds the Birds – Lincoln’s Inn Fields! (18.10.2026)

Whilst traversing to other locations – we discovered “Lincoln’s Inn Fields” – which is a “Park” to you and me. The animals are all very take – which means the local people must be very kind and generous to them. Not only that – but this must have been the case for decades – as squirrels come up to you and try to climb your trouser leg in the hope of acquiring food. I have never seen a “murder” of crows acts so tame before (yes – that is really their collective name) – and co-exist peacefully beside pigeons. Kail-Lin also spotted a mouse at one point. As Buddhist – we are vegetarians and treat all life with respect – particularly innocent animals. Our children exercise loving kindness, compassion, and wisdom toward every animal they meet. All this is moderated trough common-sense.

Dodgy Thai Surgery - Bad Karma!

Thailand: Bad Karma Leads to Gold Coffin – as “Tiny” Ubiribo’s Penis-Enlargement Fails!! (9.9.2026)

If you do not have to work, and have so much money there is no struggle or want – the human mind can make-up (and abide) in any deluded (inner) reality it imagines. The body merely assumes the outer expression of the inner delusion. This fool thought his genitalia could be bigger than it is. Thailand, despite its Buddhist culture, is a colony of the US – which pursues a policy of preventing Thailand from economically developing. Although members of the Sangha advocate a Socialist Revolution – there are one or two famous monks who benefit from this US dominance and teach the laity to enjoy and preserve their poverty. Of course, there is a small bourgeoisie in Thailand that sells services to rich (deluded) Westerners – obviously “penis-enlargement” is one of these ridiculous industries. The rich need protecting from their own stupidity. Furthermore, this fool has been buried in a gold coffin that cost so much that the money could have helped the poor of Thailand!

The Mind Must Be Calm and Serene!

BMA-UK: Buddhist Practice of “Accepting” & “Rejecting” Food Donations – The Politics of the Buddha’s Begging Bowl! (8.9.2026)

Rules in the Dhammic-sense serve only as basic guides toward moral-behaviour – hence the obvious latitude found in the night-life of places such as Thailand. Obviously, a lay-Buddhist is free to follow whatever path they perceive is correct for themselves and the circumstances they inhabit – after-all – it is their karma-producing habit. One issue is not to inflict suffering on others – including animals (this is why my family will never hurt animals in anyway). Hunger striking, in this sense, only physically “hurts” the individual participating in it – although a case can be made that those watching or caring “from afar” might suffer emotional pain. Of course, in the poor parts of Asia, Buddhist monastics exist whilst eating every other day – as the laity is so poor they have very little to share – but what an effort they make! Although starving themselves, the Buddhist laity will put aside a small amount for the Buddhist monastics. I was told that in the Northern forests of Thailand food is so scarce that Buddhist monastics often sieve a type of algae out of the local rivers – using their begging bowls – and share this to eat.

A Tamil Nadu temple has come under spotlight for its narrow 'Moksha passage'. (Photo: X)

India: “Moksha Passage” of Tamil Nadu Temple Claims Life – Another Escapes! (22.8.2028)

For the Hindu – who worships a pantheon of gods – this process also involves painful and/or selfless acts (similar to the self-flagellation found within Medieval Christianity). Whilst a Buddhist, for a time, might feel pain whilst deliberately “not doing something” they are used to doing (like an addict giving-up the desired object) – the Hindu will quite often willingly “invite” pain and suffering into their mind and body as a means to “purify” the senses, remove the obscuring karma, and clearly perceive the deity in question. At the temple below, this process involves squeezing through a narrow stone passage. This indicates that “Dharma” (the spiritual path of self-purification) – is both “narrow” and “restrictive” – which is true. However, the path of Dharma tends to indicate that behaviour during everyday life is controlled and restricted as regards “choices”. This stone passage seems to be a metaphor in concrete terms – teaching the adherent that everyday freedom must be “restricted” (the stone tunnel) – if ultimate freedom is to be achieved – (emerging from the narrow tunnel). Ironically, the adherent often imerges from the tunnel just as deluded as when they went in. Herein lies why the Buddha propagated the message he did.

India: Fascist BJP [Anti-China] Racism Displayed in “Anti-Intellectual” Tome! (13.8.2026)

If this is what these idiots are writing in English – what are they writing in Hindi? These Western “wannaby” Hindu-fascists and Neo-Nazis – about 10% of the Indian population (those that can read and write) – live in gated communities but deceive the illiterate 90% of India into mistakenly thinking that karma is their dharma! No. Being the anti-intellectual lapdog of the US is not a good look (just look at the highly negative attitudes Westerners have to Indian migrants) – but these degenerates are so inverted in their outlook that they are not even aware of just how stupid they look to the rest of the world. Even the ridiculous author of this piece admits (in the last paragraph effectively contradicting his own assertions) – that the Indian Army – (that is the Army of India – his own country) – “denies” any and all allegations he has just made in the body of the article. The reality is that the 90% of illiterate India desperately need a Socialist Revolution to throw-off the yoke of US Imperialism and the utter stupidity of Hindu Nationalism. Meanwhile, the BJP morons better hope and pray that the PLA does not really come over the border and teach the Indians yet another “1962-Style” military lesson once again!
