Sutton: St Nicholas Church – Interior and History! (10.9.2023)

10/09/2023 Adrian (釋大道)

Since around 1539 CE (and Henry VIII’s Dissolution of the Monasteries) this Church has been ‘Protestant’. This is a large Church built for a substantial Township and can probably hold at least 100 worshippers at any one time. Bear in mind that there used to be a greater number of Churches in the UK per small area than there are today – and that populations used to be far smaller despite virtually everyone professing a faith. Perhaps the ample and impressive size of the Church is linked to it serving a local population with a higher social status and wealth – requiring certain standards as being seen to be kept! As far as we are concerned, archaeological structures retain the data of the past, and by studying these structures we are able to glimpse into that past!

China: Gansu Buddhist ‘Smile of the Orient’ Said to Equal That of the ‘Mona Lisa’! (5.9.2023)

05/09/2023 Adrian (釋大道)

The early Buddhist groups in China mirrored that of the extant Confucian scholiastic system – often forming around married laymen – with disciples taking the surname of the teacher as their ‘Dharma-Name’ and essentially becoming an extension of his family. Grottoes such as that featured below were places where Buddhists could meet, share and practice their understanding of Indian Buddhist philosophy. An understanding of Buddhist monasticism started to arrive and distinguish itself in China from the existing lay-practice around the 5th century CE – the date I believe this ‘smiling’ monk appears to date from. Whereas Buddhist lay-practitioners did not shave their heads (like Daoists and Confucians) – monastic Buddhists (male and female) were required to shave their heads – indicative of their ‘rejecting’ of the desire-laden conventions that define, guide and justify the external world.

Foreign Diplomats Impressed by Progress Made in Xinjiang! (11.8.2023)

11/08/2023 Adrian (釋大道)

For years, water scarcity and safety concerns have plagued the residents of Jiashi due to harsh natural conditions. However, thanks to completion of the project in 2020, some 460,000 people now have access to safe drinking water through newly constructed or renovated pipelines running for a total length of 1,827 kilometers.

“That is a fundamental victory,” Campbell said, adding that his country is also focusing on providing people with sanitary potable water and improving livelihoods in areas such as housing, education and food security.

“When we had the opportunity to see the water project here, we were very impressed,” he said, adding that Nicaragua can learn from China’s experience in this respect.

Campbell, who arrived in China in May as the Nicaraguan ambassador, has since visited not only Xinjiang but also Shandong and Hebei provinces, as well as Yiwu city, Zhejiang province. He intends to visit all 34 provincial-level regions in the country.

“Every single province has its own individuality. I think Xinjiang is wonderful and beautiful in its own way,” he said.

Post-Soviet Russia: Living on Sunshine and the Utter (Far-Right) Stupidity of Maxim Lyuty (Максим Лютый)! (4.8.2023)

04/08/2023 Adrian (釋大道)

Much of the British Welfare State of 1948 was premised upon the Soviet model. After the Nazi Germans (and its Catholic Allies) devastated the Western USSR (between 1941-1945) – it was this system of taxation and wealth re-distribution which re-built the Soviet Union and helped replace the 41 million men, women and children maimed and killed by the Hitlerites! Today, the far-right advocates the leaving of cities and the rejection of modern living as a form of ‘protest’ against contemporary trends of living (rejecting the benefits of ‘science’, ‘medicine’ and ‘multiculturalism’ – all falsely interpreted as ‘Jewish’ conspiracies). This is the exact ‘opposite’ of the progressive ideology of ‘Scientific Socialism’ – with this stupidity costing the life of a young Russian child.

UK: 1962 – An American Neo-Nazi Degenerate Infiltrates Our Country! (3.8.2023)

03/08/2023 Adrian (釋大道)

Trotsky, however, was a notorious ‘racist’. Racism – in both name and function – pre-existed Trotsky by thousands of years, and it is hilarious to see Neo-Nazi ‘gays’ attempting to sexually impress one another with their ‘macho’ misstatements! Communism has nothing to do with Judaism – or any theistic religion – as Marx (via Feuerbach) fully exposed and dismissed the superstition that underlies ALL theistic religion. In 1938 – when he founded is laughable ‘Fourth International’ – Trotsky was courted by the West, the far-right, the American Zionists and the Catholic Church! Trotsky, due to his racist attitudes, condemned the Chinese Revolution, cooperated with the Imperial Japanese and called upon his followers to unite with the forces of International Fascism and assist in any upcoming attack upon the USSR! Trotsky also called upon Soviet citizens to carry-out terrorist attacks upon the infrastructure of the Soviet Union. Although a well-aimed pickaxe put an end to Trotsky in 1940 – the far-right might want to re-think their stupidity.

Climate Change – Yes or No? (26.7.2023)

26/07/2023 Adrian (釋大道)

China does seem to align itself with the climate change agenda – but this might only be rhetorical. Yes – China advocates looking after the environment – but this is not the same as the climate change agenda which seeks to destroy culture to achieve its end. China’s culture is ‘developing’ – but is not being simultaneously destroyed to justify a bourgeois (Western) notion. This is not the same as the current climate change battle – as this appears to be faith-based and involves a Judeo-Christian ‘guilt’ aimed at being ‘Western’ and ‘Industrialised’ – but it is a form of what looks like ‘self-hate’ – as it is entirely of our own making!
