Venezuela Salutes China's Founding!

Venezuela: Respect to Mao Zedong – Congratulations on the 76th Founding [1949-2025] of the People’s Republic of China! (1.10.2025)

76 years ago, Mao Zedong gave the cry of freedom, announcing to the world the birth of a new China, forged in the alliance of peasants and workers. With perseverance, the People’s Republic of China has turned history around to fulfill the dream of the “Great Helmsman”: to be a powerful and sovereign nation.

Paraphrasing the statement of our Commander Chávez: in Asia, a power is emerging that is neither imperialist nor colonialist, but seeks cooperation and development. China has consolidated its own model with an identity and historical wisdom.

Today we are building the new humanity that longs for a future of peace, freedom, development, and independence, a true community with a shared destiny, and I am glad to have such powerful brothers in the world.

The Ch’an Lineage and the Resurgence of Traditional Chinese Culture – Shi Ben Xing (释本性)

I would like to add that the ‘Fa Yan’ lineage of the Ch’an School is particularly well-placed to assist the revival, preservation and transmission of traditional Chinese culture within a thoroughly ‘modern’ setting. The ‘Fa Yan’ tradition is ancient and has survived for hundreds of years as a distinct and intact transmission of Ch’an Buddhism. The ‘Fa Yan’ lineage of Longyan can be very useful and serve China faithfully in this task.
