Mahayana Buddha is Trans Gender

BMA-UK: The Buddha – Gender Fluid or Gender Irrelevant? (6.8.2026)

Of course, even in Shakespeare’s time in England – men dressed as women because women were not permitted to act on the stage. The Vinaya Discipline seeks to completely “cut-off” all sexual activity in the environment, body, and mind. This includes heterosexual, homosexual, and beastiality. This is what a Buddhist monastic is expected to follow – whilst a lay-person may get married and have children – providing there is an element of sexual control. This often comes down to use in the West as “No Adultery” – but in the old Pali Suttas, it is explained in a slightly different manner. In the time of the Buddha, a rich lay-man could marry up to four wives – and as it was the Hindu custom for a man to marry sisters – the Buddha advised that “control” in this instance was not to engage in sexual activity with anyone outside his wife’s family. Replacing this with “Adultery” is a clear example of how the bourgeois (Christian) West has tinkered with Asian Buddhism – and attempted to alter its essential nature. Adultery in the monogamous (modern) West is not the same as adultery in polygamous (ancient) India.

China: Former Shaolin Head Monk – Shi Yongxin – Recent Developments! (28.7.2026)

The Shaolin Temple was founded by visiting Indian monks to China long before Bodhidharma arrived (in 528 CE), Sitting and clearing the mind has always been the primary skill. However, many other temples and spiritual centres also combine seated meditation with “moving” meditation in the form of martial endeavour (it is even hinted at in the Book of Change). Although the Shaolin Temple is famous – it is in no way the only place martial arts are practiced for health and self-defence. Master Xu Yun changed the law in China by integrating the Vinaya Discipline with Chinese Secular Law. Failing to uphold the Vinaya Discipline is tantamount to breaking the law. What is happening to the former Head Monk of Shaolin – Shi Yongxin – is entirely due to the legal reforms that Xu Yun initiated in the early 1950s as a means to protect China from going down the Japanese path of abandoning the upholding of the Vinaya Discipline. The above translation (click picture link) gives all the recent developments in this fascinating case.

Wow Signal 1977

Email: What Was the 1977 “Wow Signal”? (4.7.2026)

The signal had travelled around 220 light-years – meaning its journey began in the year 1757 (a reply would take a similar length of time – suggesting an all-round trip of 440 light-years). To arrive at earth in such a powerful state means that its source technology would have to be extraordinarily powerful whilst boosting the signal as it traversed interstellar space. If it was the product of natural phenomena, then it was a process that scientists did not yet understand at the time. However, many assume this signal to be artificial in nature, and deliberate in intent – as it was designed to reach earth and to be received and understood by those on earth. As technology as improved immeasurably, this frequency has been observed and re-observed – with nothing found.

Dad Waving in Torbay!

UK: Remembering the “White Wizard” of Torbay! (14.6.2026)

I think that if religions gave-up their ridiculous claims to exclusivity – then the method of “looking within” could become a legitimate part of understanding the material world (albeit “subjectively”) and take its place alongside “objective” science. As matters stand, religious development tends to be unregulated and more or less ad hoc in its ability to produce legitimately transcendent beings. Such a being would declare the path he followed to be obsolete as he emerges thoroughly enlightened. Today, religions make stupid claims of non-existent (exclusive) knowledge – and limit their practitioners to religious dogma. It is for this reason of general ignorance and their siding with capitalism that Marxist-Leninism has a bleak view of religions in general. If religions truly abandoned the physical world they inhabit – then capitalism would be left firmly behind. Greed cannot be encouraged at source when transcendence demands a complete break with all fetters that would bind the practitioner to the mundane. The truly transcendent amongst us quietly disentangle their minds from the tortures of the physical world and humbly “ascend”. They do not do it for fame, money, or recognition. Indeed, for us mere mortals, we will be lucky if we receive an emancipating wave from them!

Cancer Medicine Defeats US Blockade!

Cuba: Anti-Cancer “Cytostatic Production” Reactivated in Defiance of US Blockade! (8.6.2026) 

For her part, Mayda Mauri Pérez underscored the current moment and highlighted the solid alliance between the biopharmaceutical and health sectors as an essential pillar to sustain the supply of cancer drugs to the Cuban population, despite the intensification of the economic, commercial and financial blockade imposed by the United States.

The visit was also attended by medical oncologists, who exchanged criteria with the managers on therapeutic priorities, thus ensuring that the production responds directly to the clinical needs of patients.

The reactivation of this plant is not an isolated event: it is an eloquent example of how the Cuban biotechnology industry and the Public Health System work in total alliance, under the same objective: to guarantee the coverage of essential medicines at the most pressing time. In a country that faces externally induced shortages, each drug produced in this plant represents sovereignty, hope and commitment to the right to health of all Cubans.
