St Albans Abbey: Interior & Enclosures! (29.5.2024)

29/05/2024 Adrian (釋大道)

Abbot, Abbesses and other Head Monastics were offered a life-long pension from the Crown amounting to 1% of the annual income of the monastery being dissolved. As St Albans made around £1000 per year – the Abbot received a guaranteed £10 per year – a very substantial amount for the time. The idea was to purchase their compliance. Those who resisted were tried for Treason and publicly executed. Henry gave away monastic property to his favourites – or sold it at a cut-price to other interested parties. All the accumulated gold, silver, copper, led and bronze, as well as gemstones – were sold into the public domain and effectively laid the foundation for a modern capitalist economy. This freeing of monastic treasure into the public domain represented a massive injection of wealth into the English economy – stimulating buying, selling and market speculation. When the movable wealth ran-out – the brick-work and foundations of many monasteries were dismantled and used to reinforce Henry’s castles along the coast – or in the case of Merton Abbey – to build Nonsuch Palace in Surrey! Whereas the monks were opposed to greed and grasping – a new secular society emphasised the exact opposite to get on. Now, greed, lying and cheating guaranteed the personal accumulation of wealth that could purchase a place to live, schooling, food, travel and leisure, etc. Of course, supporting Henry often guaranteed social climbing. Modern capitalism was invented in England by Henry VIII.

Wimbledon: Buddhapadipa Temple & the Family of Geese! (29.5.2024)

29/05/2024 Adrian (釋大道)

It possesses a modest park with a small body of water, a mansion house and a temple complex. Indeed, we have visited here many times in the past. As with all such temples – it is free to enter – and no-one interferes with acts of private meditation. On occasion, the robed-clad monks (Bhikkhu-Beggar) might be seen walking through the grounds. As all animal cruelty is strictly forbidden, the local wildlife tends to behave in a much more relaxed and content manner – as if each animals perceives the “Dhamma” (Teaching) that is being practiced. Whatever the case, such an environment allows children to develop a caring attitude of respect for all animals – just one of the reasons we take our children to such places!

Falun Gong Cult: Defining Li Hongzhi’s “Three-Sectional Trap” for Spreading False Rumours in the West! (24.5.2024)

25/05/2024 Adrian (釋大道)

Li Hongzhi opposes homosexuality, gender equality, pop music, etc. At the same time, he boasts to his followers that he is a “god-man” who can levitate in the air and walk through walls. He claims that disease is an evil symptom (“karma”) that can only be overcome through meditation. Meditation and worship of “Falun Gong” can lead to true healing, claiming that aliens from unknown dimensions have invaded human minds and bodies, bringing corruption and inventions like computers and aeroplanes.

Li Hongzhi’s teachings describe supernatural phenomena, including the suggestion that the pyramids may have been built by humanoids or Atlanteans who lived under the sea.

Benjamin Penny said in the book “The Religion of Falun Gong” that “Falun Gong” deifies its founder Li Hongzhi, whilst adherence believe that he is far superior to human beings and will save mankind from disasters. He requires “Falun Gong” students to abide by his teachings and so-called moral principles, otherwise the practice will not achieve its purpose; he requires students to regularly conduct a series of spiritual exercises, gather together to read his “scriptures” and share insights.

Emails: Exposing the Catholic [Anti-Soviet] Ignorance of Abbot Andre Louf [1929-2010]! (19.5.2024)

19/05/2024 Adrian (釋大道)

This is despite the anti-Soviet nonsense he spouts on page 114 – a line of Vatican propaganda that sullies a man who tolerates a qualified “atheism” in his monastery! Of course, this type of anti-Stalin invention can be dismissed by studying the Collective Works of Stalin (Stalin trained in the Seminary before becoming a Revolutionary) and the historical (academic) work of EH Carr, Alexander Werth and Grover Furr, etc. EH Carr does mention that following the Bolshevik Revolution, monks and priest were not allowed to vote in elections until after 1922 (the founding of the USSR) – but prior to 1917 – no one (ecclesiastical or lay) was allowed to vote for any reason outside the closed circle surrounding the Czar – and the oppressive feudal system he administered. Just as Catholic monks live under the “Dictatorship” of God, the Pope and their Abbot – monks and priests in the USSR possessed absolutely no rights prior to 1917! Andre Louf, as a professed Catholic monk, was NOT permitted by the Catholic Church to vote in any election. When the reality of his position is fully understood – then the magnitude of his ignorance becomes fully revealed. Even monastic masters are inclined to “lie” – perhaps that is what their God requires.

Email: To Pray or Not to Pray – that is the Question! (17.4.2024)

17/04/2024 Adrian (釋大道)

Since the Tories came to power in 2010 – Christian prayers have been re-introduced throughout all kinds of otherwise Secular government and schooling programmes – on the grounds that this activity represents “British” tradition. My children are not Christian (like half of their class) – but have no choice but to attend the Morning Assembly and being forced to participate in Christian Prayers, etc. Buddhists, Hindus, Muslims, Sikhs, Jews and atheists, etc. have no choice. The idea is that the UK is a “Christian” State rather than a “Secular” State (Cromwell abolished the original Church of England).

Judah Offers a Young Goat for Sex with His Daughter in Law!

Genesis: The “Old Testament” Story of Judah and Tamar – the First Porn Script? (13.4.2024)

13/04/2024 Adrian (釋大道)

This is not the “sterilised” sexuality found throughout general discourse today, but a clear expression of the patriarchal domination of women and girls. The different tribes that believed themselves to be racially and spiritually superior to one another – and everyone else – led to the brutal sexual exploitation of women and girls. Not only this, but the female victims are portrayed as being complicit in their own abuse – agreeing with what these men are thinking – and actively participating in their own rape and manipulation. The Soviet System advocates the objective and detached study of religion so that is degenerate spell over humanity is broken and logic and reason is used to place these superstitious tales into their proper and correct place in history. These texts are nothing special – but they are historically interesting with regards to the evolution of human understanding.
