UK: Emails – Looking for “Inner” Moksha! (22.8.2026)

22/08/2026 Adrian (釋大道)

Younger people today, perhaps due to the instant gratification the internet entails, seem to lack the ability to be diplomatic and to ration perception. This leads to violence and aggression between groups due to differences in perception. The interior differences spill-out into the material world – and violence ensues. The stone passage in the temple prevents any unnecessary lateral movement of the body – but the individual should also limit the inner movement of the mind. Then it does not matter whether the body “moves” through the gap or not. Remember, Western sentiment does not operate in this temple. Even if the body “dies” – a mind free of the cycle of birth, life, and death – is a mind (and spiritual-being) free of all suffering. Losing the body in this context is viewed as a win-win for the liberated individual. A disembodied spiritual being is now free to roam in any dimension (and epoch of time) whilst being no longer limited to this plane of existence. What, then, is the issue? Well, it seems that a trapped-body results in a confused and frightened mind – which fastens the individual ever-tighter to the cycle of birth. life, and death. Once the Indian Fire Brigade extracts the compressed being from the birth-canal – an enhanced suffering unfolds!

For the Hindu – who worships a pantheon of gods – this process also involves painful and/or selfless acts (similar to the self-flagellation found within Medieval Christianity). Whilst a Buddhist, for a time, might feel pain whilst deliberately “not doing something” they are used to doing (like an addict giving-up the desired object) – the Hindu will quite often willingly “invite” pain and suffering into their mind and body as a means to “purify” the senses, remove the obscuring karma, and clearly perceive the deity in question. At the temple below, this process involves squeezing through a narrow stone passage. This indicates that “Dharma” (the spiritual path of self-purification) – is both “narrow” and “restrictive” – which is true. However, the path of Dharma tends to indicate that behaviour during everyday life is controlled and restricted as regards “choices”. This stone passage seems to be a metaphor in concrete terms – teaching the adherent that everyday freedom must be “restricted” (the stone tunnel) – if ultimate freedom is to be achieved – (emerging from the narrow tunnel). Ironically, the adherent often imerges from the tunnel just as deluded as when they went in. Herein lies why the Buddha propagated the message he did.

India: Fascist BJP [Anti-China] Racism Displayed in “Anti-Intellectual” Tome! (13.8.2026)

If this is what these idiots are writing in English – what are they writing in Hindi? These Western “wannaby” Hindu-fascists and Neo-Nazis – about 10% of the Indian population (those that can read and write) – live in gated communities but deceive the illiterate 90% of India into mistakenly thinking that karma is their dharma! No. Being the anti-intellectual lapdog of the US is not a good look (just look at the highly negative attitudes Westerners have to Indian migrants) – but these degenerates are so inverted in their outlook that they are not even aware of just how stupid they look to the rest of the world. Even the ridiculous author of this piece admits (in the last paragraph effectively contradicting his own assertions) – that the Indian Army – (that is the Army of India – his own country) – “denies” any and all allegations he has just made in the body of the article. The reality is that the 90% of illiterate India desperately need a Socialist Revolution to throw-off the yoke of US Imperialism and the utter stupidity of Hindu Nationalism. Meanwhile, the BJP morons better hope and pray that the PLA does not really come over the border and teach the Indians yet another “1962-Style” military lesson once again!

The Buddha does not contain ALL knowledge as if it were lying dormant in his mind at any given moment (therefore he is not “omniscient” in this sense) but he does say that an enlightened being can direct the mind in any direction he or she wishes (like a net enveloping and collecting all things) throughout the world, and in so doing bring any part of it into his enlightened conscious awareness. This lasts for as long as concentration is held in that direction and then fails away – remember that the true nature of the mind is “empty” and spacious – so that all phenomena seems to arise and pass away within it. In fact the Buddha states a long list of abilities and powers he possesses – including the ability for his mind’s awareness to travel to other worlds. What happened over-time is that through various commentaries and translations, the fact that the Buddha could move his mind’s awareness in any direction (or none) became conflated with the idea that his mind’s awareness was already in every place and at every time.

Indeed, not mentioned in this article is the possibility that as the UAE is given billions of dollars every year to “turn a blind eye” to Israeli atrocities in Gaza and Lebanon, it is highly likely that the British tax-payer has financed the loss of its own material culture. Yes – our hard-earned tax has been “given” to a deluded Islamicist State that supports Israel (a type of “bribe” to look the over way as the piles of dead children mount) so that the UAE can simply “re-fund” some of our British tax in exchange for the ownership of irreplicable (natural) culture. As Starmer and Burnham are hell-bent on supporting the Israeli “Genocide” – why is it the UK government has not seen fit to re-direct a modest section of that pro-Islamicist and pro-Israeli finance package back into the well-being of the British people? Then, my family could just take a leisurely stroll down the road into the British Museum to witness our own evolutionary development – instead of having to book aeroplane tickets to one of the most violent places on earth. As matters stand, I believe the righteous missiles of Iran have been dropping on the UAE as a punishment for that country permitting the US to launch illegal military strikes at Tehran. Our British fossils have survived millions of years so far – but the odds are they may not survive much longer due to the Israeli Zionist terror-strikes! And yes – I hold Israel fully responsible because the UK government, without my knowledge or consent, is giving my tax to Tel Aviv (Jaffa) to commit “Genocide” in Gaza as confirmed by the UN.

I was born in Oxford (Hitler bombed my mother’s family out of working-class Lewisham in 1940) – and I love the history and “learning” associated with the place (I can walk around with a book about Marx on open display and no one bats an eyelid). I did attend Oxford – but I paid to do so – as I could not attain a place due to my own limitations when I was young. It just so happened that my intellectual abilities matured at the same time when I experienced a decade of wealth. Although Oxford does discriminate, I “paid” to access a “Philosophy of Mind” course – which I passed despite not fitting-in (I was in my late 30s at the time and was surrounded by BBC executives, Guardian Reporters, and UN employees – but my family was proud). However, I was told a story of a young woman who was born into a poor working-class family and brought-up on a housing estate.
