Proletariat Blogging in the Heart of (UK) Predatory Capitalism! Exploring the Interface between Matter and Perception, Chinese Buddhism, Daoism, Hakka Ethnography, and All Aspects of Radical Politics, History, Psychology and Philosophy – 全世界无产者联合起来!
Master Xu Yun patiently listened to the argument of these monks (that he viewed as ‘heretical’), and then banged his hand on the table and firmly stated that without the following of the Vinaya Discipline of Indian Buddhism, there can be no authentic ‘Chinese’ Buddhism.
It is often left-leaning capitalists in the UK that criticise Communist China. This type of bourgeois often supports the Labour Party, and whilst living within, and supporting the capitalist system – openly attack non-European countries that have thrown-off the capitalist yoke. My view is that this is anti-Chinese racism as manifested on the left of the political spectrum.
China does not support the US dropping of nuclear weapons upon Japan.
Of course, as soon the Chinese people chose Communism as part of their expression of democratic self-determination, the US resorted to ‘type’, and simply re-instated anti-Chinese racism throughout their nation – instead converting their former fascist enemy of the ‘Japanese’ into their ‘new’ best friend against China (and using similar pro-Japanese propaganda to convince a more or less ignorant population that the Japanese atrocities against the West and Asia nolonger mattered):
However, perhaps the greatest omission of them all was the fact that Inside Kung Fu refused to publish any articles presenting the Nationalist regime’s attack upon the famous Shaolin Tempe in 1928, which saw the temple destroyed and many of its monks murdered.
A Buddhist – whether monastic or lay – is a true revolutionary committed to uprooting the basis of deluded society in the mind, body and environment. This pragmatic Buddhist approach parallels the Scientific Socialism of Marxist-Engelism and Marxist-Leninism – and Buddhists are advised to study these teachings in all their manifestations (including Joseph Stalin and Mao Zedong) as an important step in transforming the modern world for the better.
