UK: Remembering “Old Billy” [1760-1822] with Love and Respect! (21.7.2024)

21/07/2024 Adrian (釋大道)

The taxidermied head was acquired by Bedford Museum, while Old Billy’s skull went to Manchester Museum, where it has been displayed below a neon sign bearing the horse’s name.

Such has been Old Billy’s enduring appeal that a children’s book telling the horse’s story was published in 2023 and Ms Reid said it was hoped the return of the head would inspire other work.

“There’s something about Old Billy which has really captured our imaginations,” she said.

“We loved the beautiful children’s picture book about him which was recently created by two artists from the town [and] now there’s music and artwork being made about Old Billy and we’ll be hosting workshops and talks.”

Old Billy is at Warrington Museum’s Cabinet of Curiosities between 19 July and 20 November and is free to view.

China: Hu Youping [胡友平] is NOT a “Traitor” – But Rather a “Local Hero” & “National Martyr”! (28.6.2024)

28/06/2024 Adrian (釋大道)

Strictly speaking, no citizen should be subjected to online violence, and any citizen subjected to online violence should be protected by law. However, it is undeniable that compared with ordinary citizens, Martyrs and their families enjoy a more suitable legal protection. If Hu Youping is rated as a “Martyr”, her memory will be protected by the “Heroes and Martyrs Law”. Those online violence behaviours that distort, vilify, blaspheme, and deny Hu Youping’s deeds and chivalrous spirit will be deemed as violating the law. If such behaviour constitute a crime, then the perpetuators will be held criminally responsible – in accordance with the law.

In addition, according to the “Martyrs Commendation Regulations”, the standard for Martyr Commendation Compensation is 30 times the per capita disposable income of urban residents in the previous year – when the Martyr died. In addition to enjoying the Martyr Commendation Compensation, the Martyrs’ families who fall within the scope of the “Work Injury Insurance Regulations” and related regulations also enjoy a one-time work-related Death Allowance and a Special Allowance for Martyrs’ families equivalent to 40 months’ salary of the Martyr concerned. In addition, the Martyrs’ families also enjoy preferential treatment in medical care, education, employment, housing and other aspects.

UK: Father’s Day – 2024! (16.6.2024)

16/06/2024 Adrian (釋大道)

Today, my two daughters – Mei-An and Kai-Lin – presented me with two wonderful “Father’s Day” cards! The UK follows the UN declaration of “June 16” of each year marking Father’s Day – but the UK has a different day for “Mother’s Day” – which is far older (dating back to the 16th century – “Mothering Sunday” – which is the fourth Sunday after Lent and varies each year in actual date-day.

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

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!

Recollecting the career of the revolutionary soldier who was infinitely loyal to the Party and the country all his life with a genuine communist outlook on life, the respected Comrade Kim Jong Un laid a flower before the grave of Hyon Chol Hae.
