Torquay: Moses Wave Man – My Dad is a Modern-Day Wizard – and He Has Made a Post! (24.7.2025)

24/07/2025 Adrian (釋大道)

Remarkably, despite being right-handed, from 72 onwards, he re-learned how to do everything with his left-hand. Recently, he has been in and out of hospital in Torbay a number of times – with NHS staff stabilising his health and allowing him to go back out “waving” in the Bay. However, the visits are becoming far more frequent and I have started to receive enquiries about his health – even from the local and national media! Typical of my Dad, (he taught us to always find a way through the current hardship), he is dictating the content of his latest posts to whichever family member is visiting him. Hopefully, he will rise again for one more good round – and demonstrate his mettle and grit yet again!

British Scarecrows - Linked to Pagan Gods!

UK: Are Scarecrows Linked to Pagan Fertility Gods? (22.6.2025)

22/06/2025 Adrian (釋大道)

This may be due to the Celtic traditions developing within heavily forested areas prior to the arrival of the Romans – who cleared trees to build their straight roads. Romans also cleared forested areas to create farming fields – so open fields were “foreign” to the British Celts. The Druids are reported as detesting the Roman habit of destroying the sacred woods (the Druids and their Celtic Army were finally beaten by the Romans at the Battle of Anglesey circa 60 CE – the last time “magic” was known to have been used on a British battlefield). During these times, crops were planted within the safety of the forested-canopy – where the Gods of Fertility operated more or less unaffected by the wild birds. Wide, open fields were not yet accepted as “British”. It might have even been the case that Celtic farmers came to some arrangement with the wild birds – setting aside some food for them so that everyone got on without conflict. There was 800-years between the Romans (5th century CE) leaving and the plague creating the conditions that led to the development of the modern British Scarecrow (14th century CE).

China: How to Read the Buddhist “卍” (Swastika) Symbol Currectly! (17.10.2024)

17/10/2024 Adrian (釋大道)

Empress Wu Zetian (武则天) of the Tang Dynasty was attracted to Buddhism very much and often invited Ch’an Masters to the palace to explain Buddhist Sutras to her. It was under the promotion of Wu Zetian that Huayan (华严) Sect became a major Buddhist school during the Tang Dynasty.

At that time, there was still no consensus on the pronunciation of “卍” within Buddhism. Some people insisted that it should be pronounced as “万” (Wan4) or “The Ten Thousand Thing” – but others opposed this interpretation – and believed it should be pronounced as “万”(mo2) or “Scorpion” – referring to an Oracle Bone Inscription which refers to a non-Chinese primitive tribe (during the Shang Dynasty) that worshipped the “Scorpion” whilst mimicking its movements in a ritualistic dance (perhaps implying the “foreignness” of India).

King Arthur May Well Have Been a Historical Personage!

Glastonbury Abbey – King Arthur’s Grave! (29.7.2024)

29/07/2024 Adrian (釋大道)

The Celtic Church (from Egypt) was probably in Britain from the 2nd century CE onwards – with it being destroyed by the incoming Roman Catholic Church by the 11th century CE. Its monastic nature encouraged not only cloistered monks who lived in draughty stone cells – but also Hermits who lived in natural caves or various other meditation cells. Celtic Christianity did not persecute – but encouraged and accommodated the Pagan beliefs of indigenous people. There was a mutual respect between both groups of believers and this explains why leaders like King Arthur would strive to protect the Church – and the Church to honour him in death. This type of Asiatic respect does not require a slavish attachment to belief to be functional. Freedom of belief equates to respect for difference. There are many theories dating King Arthur from the 6th, 7th and 8th centuries, etc, which include many geographical areas associated with his life and death. We favour Tintagel in Cornwall – a place we have visited many times. King Arthur was a wise man, a compassionate man, and a great warrior!

Falun Gong Cult: Dial 0800 ‘DISTANCE’!

18/03/2023 Adrian (釋大道)

In an attempt to inject some humour into Falun Gong Cult activities (which, let’s face it, often look more like Nazi-Occupied parts of Europe during the early 1940s – rather than populations of the ‘joyfully liberated’) – this new generation of channelers are trained to open-up proceedings with a witty exchange (or ‘repartee’) to warm-up the crowd – one which often unfolds something like this:

Question: ‘Li Hongzhi – are you there?’

Answer: ‘Yes!’

Follow-up Question: ‘Are you alive?’

Follow-up Answer – and Delivery of Punchline: ‘Yes – are you?’

Of course, experiments in ‘humour’ of this nature could prove highly successful – or be the equivalent of pouring arsenic in the soup as a means to improve its flavour! Will it work? Will it fail? Does it matter? With the US government bankrolling Li Hongzhi’s every move (or ‘non-movement’ in this case) how can it fail? Li Hongzhi does not have to ‘prove’ anything – he merely needs to appear to always be there (never ageing) – and like a lighthouse perched on a lonely rock somewhere – always broadcasting the same ‘bright-light’ of his anti-China message!

When ‘Woke’ is NOT ‘Awake’! (15.2.2023)

15/02/2023 Adrian (釋大道)

Today, the US is spreading its anti-intellectualism across the globe through the policy of ‘constraining’ how the internet is used. Where the internet is not operational, the US achieves the same effect through military boots upon the ground! Whereas the internet ‘bans’ those who do not conform to the auspices of US anti-intellectualism – the US military simply ‘kills’ those who do not conform. Being ‘woke’ – that hideous US construct – is really the Trotskyite left (which is actually of the right), dominating and controlling the political and cultural narratives operating Bourgeois within society. The far right, and right-wing accuse the ‘woke’ fraternity as being the archetypical ‘left’ – and limit all political critique to its machinations! This policy is a sleight of hand which excludes the genuine Marxist-Leninist left completely from of the picture. The mainstream is convinced that a stratum of the Bourgeoisie is in fact the ‘left-wing’ and that no other leftist interpretation exists (or is allowed to exist). This policy has been so successful that many Socialist and Communist groups exist to reinforce this stereotype and conform fully to this Bourgeois manipulation of history and historical interpretation. This is how the Bourgeoisie controls and limits the political debate within the societies it controls. By misrepresenting the left, the Bourgeoisie prevents any genuine ‘Socialist’ movements from developing and privileges the ‘Trotskyite’ movement and advocates these groups as being the only acceptable expression of the left. This ‘rejection’ and ‘misrepresentation’ of Marxist-Leninism becomes the only allowable expression of ‘Marxist-Leninism’! Pay no attention to the man behind the curtain!
