China: How to Read the Buddhist “卍” (Swastika) Symbol Currectly! (17.10.2024)

17/10/2024 Adrian (釋大道)

Empress Wu Zetian (武则天) of the Tang Dynasty was attracted to Buddhism very much and often invited Ch’an Masters to the palace to explain Buddhist Sutras to her. It was under the promotion of Wu Zetian that Huayan (华严) Sect became a major Buddhist school during the Tang Dynasty.

At that time, there was still no consensus on the pronunciation of “卍” within Buddhism. Some people insisted that it should be pronounced as “万” (Wan4) or “The Ten Thousand Thing” – but others opposed this interpretation – and believed it should be pronounced as “万”(mo2) or “Scorpion” – referring to an Oracle Bone Inscription which refers to a non-Chinese primitive tribe (during the Shang Dynasty) that worshipped the “Scorpion” whilst mimicking its movements in a ritualistic dance (perhaps implying the “foreignness” of India).

Ministry of Religious Affairs: Zionists Routinely Destroy Gazan Mosques, Churches & Cemeteries! (8.10.2024)

08/10/2024 Adrian (釋大道)

In a statement, the ministry revealed that three churches had also been destroyed and 19 of its 60 cemeteries had been targeted by Zionist bombardment.

It estimated that Zionist forces caused $350 million worth of damage to the ministry’s properties.

The ministry further accused Zionist forces of desecrating graves, exhuming bodies, and stealing and mutilating human remains.

It added that the Israeli army has killed 238 of its employees and detained 19 others during ground offensives in the territory.

Who the Hell is Charlie Big Potatoes? – The Laughable World of the British Far-Right! (13.9.2024)

13/09/2024 Adrian (釋大道)

White people who commit the most grievous of crimes are still considered morally superior to any non-White person who has never commuted a single crime. Where Mark Collett keeps reiterating that in the British legal system everyone is innocent until proven guilty – his usual far-right rhetoric continuously suggests that all non-White people are guilty until proven innocent – except, of course, that Hitlerism never allows such people to ever be proven innocent.

Once an individual or community is marked – these entities remain forever marked. Conventional Hitlerism suggests that the two men in question should be appropriately “dealt with” – whilst Mark Collett, as a hidden liberal, should be removed from his leadership role and dismissed from the party. Yes – hypocrisy abounds in the inverted, dark, and lunatic world of the British far-right!

US Anti-Intellectualism – Stupidity – and Misrepresentation of the “Left”! (24.8.2024)

24/08/2024 Adrian (釋大道)

After 1991, and the collapse of the Soviet Union and the Communist Bloc (of Eastern Europe) – what remains of the Communist Party has splintered and shattered into ever more isolated, one-sided, and out of touch groups – all claiming (in their own way) to represent a working class that takes virtually no notice of their existence. Talking shops with no audience is the best example. Therefore, the Marxist-Leninist “Left” in the US (and to a lesser extent throughout Western and Eastern Europe) has no power or influence throughout society. Meanwhile, the US media and academic system continues to pump-out a slew of works denigrating Soviet history and deliberately misrepresenting the history of the Communist Party and the Socialist Movement. For over a hundred years a false history has been propagated by the American State which has brainwashed the average US citizen into thinking in a completely incorrect and fallacious manner. The US understanding of Soviet and Socialist is entirely deficient, negative, mythic, and legendary in essence.

Southport: Far-Right Agitation on UK Streets Reminiscent of 1930s Berlin! (31.7.2024)

31/07/2024 Adrian (釋大道)

The incumbent Labour Party is refusing to add to this description – an decision which is only fuelling the flames – by suggesting that the nation should focus on recovering rather than revenge! Of course, all this is coming hot on the heels of the Romany Riots in Leeds – and the Bangladeshi Uprisings in London – both of which involved ethnic minorities attacking poorly-equipped Police Constables! The far-right is taking advantage of this unrest and is attempting to replace “class” (Marx) with “race” (Hitler) as the dominant characteristic which defines reality and explains phenomena. Thuggery and poor education are the only characteristics that unite the far-right the world-over. White racism is dangerous – but it is not decisive. Marxist-Leninism has beaten it before – and it will beat it again! What should happen now is that the Police will quietly analyse the film footage and identify all the thugs who attended the riots whilst not wearing masks – no doubt an ongoing far-right resistance to the Covid-19 Pandemic and symbolic of the anti-intellectualism that has gripped the fascist movement in recent years!

Glastonbury Abbey: Abbot’s Kitchen – St Joseph’s Well! (30.7.2024)

30/07/2024 Adrian (釋大道)

Today, an ad hoc “Wishing Well” has developed in one of the corners of the room. This was probably a drain or perhaps some type of cooker – but in modern times visitors have taken to dropping coins down through the covering grill – and making heartfelt requests in the form of prayers and good wishes. Our daughters asked for good health to be bestowed upon Nana (Diane Wyles), Granddad (Peter Wyles) and Charlotte (my younger sister)! The currency observed spans the globe – which demonstrates the universal appeal that Glastonbury holds. This is not necessarily “religious” (although religion is important for many) – but rathe “spiritual” in nature – the latter category being far more inclusive and all-embracing!
