Ch’an Buddhism – Sit But Do Not Wobble! (5.5.2025)

Nowadays, the situation of Ch’an Buddhism in China is precarious. This is because the Ch’an Path is difficult to follow and is not easy to practice. Of course, there are many people who chant the Buddha’s Name and practice Tantric Buddhism – but there are very few who are truly able to practice Ch’an. Many temples focus on building Buddha Chanting Halls which are popular – with the required practice relatively simple to perform – whilst the establishment of disciplined Ch’an Halls are rare. Even if some temples have established Ch’an Halls, but these places often lack dedicated teachers and practitioners who will sit in meditation for long periods of time – and forget about the body and environment. It should be noted that the inheritance of Buddhism in China is largely due to the talents cultivated in Ch’an Halls.

Satoshi Uematsu, "Hitler is My Protecor!"

Japan: Knife Attacker – Uematsu Satoshi – [植松 聖] Inspired By Hitler – Kills 19 and Wounds 26 Disabled People at Sagamihara Care Centre! (22.6.2025)

What is extraordinary is that whilst the bourgeois media (including the BBC and Guardian) purposely “ignored” what was happening in the UK and refused to report upon on it (remaining “silent” about the endless protests) – the same media quite happily covered the mass murder of 19 disabled people in Japan by a man who even died his hair “blonde” out of a sense of solidarity with Nazi Germany (he also wounded 25 others – 20 seriously)! As I missed this terrible story then, nine-years later I am placing the details on this blog. The murderer still sits on Japan’s Death Row – writing endless replies to fan-mail received from all over the world (mostly from male members of the far-right – and women who want to marry him) – stating his belief that he freed these people from a hopeless situation – whilst his actions saved the Japanese State billions in yen each year! Ironically, although Japan is a US colony, the US Authorities hypocritically insisted on “outlawing” gun ownership (and usage) throughout Japan post-1945. The US far-right is allows banging-on about gun-ownership being the foundation of Western freedom – whilst ignoring the fact that gun-ownership is prohibited in the UK, Eire, and most of Western Europe (including Greece – the cradle of Western civilisation). The same situation prevails in the US colonies of South Korea and the Philippines. The (White) US Authorities are apprehensive that their non-White subordinates might use such weaponry – if it were available throughout civil society (as is the case in the US) – to initiate a Socialist Revolution – and overthrow the American status quo. This is why the murderer resorted to a “knife” to commit his acts of deadly fascist hate

Haytor Neidan Self-Cultivation!

Ch’an Dao Blog Article – Neidan As We Get Older! (18.4.2025)

I suspect the ancient Greeks encountered Buddhist monasticism when visiting India (such as Pythagoras), learned the Buddhist method of “looking within”, and then adjusted the technique as a means to “prove” the efficacy of their particular philosophical perspectives (the work of Plotinus may be taken as an example of this endeavour). Later, via the Greeks, a community of Jews (in Qumran) started sitting in meditation to personally attain a “glimpse of Yahweh” – a practice that eventually spread to the reformed Jewish sect of “Christianity” – whose adherents started to meditate whilst sat in the caves found in the Egyptian Desert (this type of Christianity spread to Britain – hundreds of years prior to Catholicism – becoming “Celtic Christianity”).

Dubious Examples of "Christianity"!

St Albans: Consciousness Does Not Exist – and Dubious Examples of “Christianity”! (4.4.2025)

The Church suppresses and disempowers the working class in every narrative it constructs. The Workers are viewed as the scum of the earth by the middle class that runs most of the UK’s institutions. The Church today remains silent as the capitalist countries it’s supports brings the world once again to the brink of war. The Church is the devil incarnate which expresses itself through the self-serving literature it’s conspired to print and circulate. The Church calls this lie “freedom of expression”. Of course, it is only freedom of its own expression. Perhaps the biggest joke is that those without theological degrees are considered “unqualified” to see all this! Oh dear, no working 90 minutes a-week (on Sunday morning if the CofE priest can muster a congregation) with a free house and income tax exemption for me, then! Abolish this subterfuge – and the Workers will be one level nearer freedom.

Soviet scientist, Yuri Knórozov

USSR: Soviet Scientist – Yuri Knórozov – Made a Revolutionary Discovery 70-Years Ago! (29.3.2025)

In other words, by holding the power of the educated working-class mind firmly in check, the bourgeoisie retains its control of the means of production and prevents any genuine Revolutionary forces from gathering and developing within capitalist society – this is precisely “why” institutions such as Birmingham University actively “lie” about Socialism and its power to “free” the working-class mind and body from the yoke and burden of pointless and maniacal profit-making. Meanwhile, whilst demonising Socialism, the bourgeois West quietly “steals” the incredible academic breakthroughs achieved by the Socialist world (plagiarism) – whilst simultaneously obscuring and wiping-out the Socialist source of those breakthroughs.
