Assessing Sanskrit and Chinese Definitions of ‘Shakya’ (Sakka) and ‘Scythia’ – Dispelling Far-Right Anti-Intellectualism! (25.6.2023)

25/06/2023 Adrian (釋大道)

The far-right ‘lies’ to its audience. This stems from Adolf Hitler’s ‘Mein Kampf’ – within which he advocates ‘lying’ about everything as a means to leverage political advantage, control and influence.

The Dhammapada and the Uncreate

01/03/2015 Adrian (釋大道)

The Pali word ‘akata’ translates as ‘uncreate’, and this has been translated into the Chinese language through the use of the Daoist term ‘Wu Wei’ (無為). This is important in implication for the Ch’an idiom ‘language of the uncreate’., as it means that Ch’an doctrine is not only securely rooted in Buddhist scripture, but rooted in the earliest strata of that scripture.
