Taiwan: Imperial Japanese Army Massacres 1870-1945! (17.9.2024)

17/09/2024 Adrian (釋大道)

That is, excluding the population growth rate between the Liu Mingchuan Period to 1895 (some 11 years), Taiwan’s population plummeted by 600,000 to 700,000 in less than a year – due to Japan’s policy of killing and expelling Taiwanese people! Between 1895-1897 the Imperial Japanese permitted ethnic Chinese people to leave Taiwan – but official figures record that only 4,456 Taiwanese people took this route of relocating to Mainland China. This process involved an official procedure of application – which was granted (or denied) by the Imperial Japanese Authorities on a case-by-case bases. Therefore, no matter how the numbers are calculated, from September 1895 to the end of 1896 (just over 1 year), the number of “unnatural” (or “massacred”) deaths of Taiwanese people suffered at the hands of the Imperial Japanese reached at least 500,000 – which is a credible figure.

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.

Imperial Japanese Brutality as Ritual – ‘Misogi’ [禊] & ‘Harae’ [祓] During WWII! (25.2.2024)

25/02/2024 Adrian (釋大道)

At the same time, the US turned an Occupied Japan into a fascist, liberal democratic (capitalist) state that exists to spread race-hate toward North Korea and China! Perhaps the greatest irony involves the fact that the martial-related rituals that facilitated this Imperial Japanese madness, within ten-years of the end of WWII, saw Westerners in their hundreds and thousands voluntarily flocking to done the ‘White’ Gi (not realising that ‘White’ in Japan is the colour of both ‘death’ and ‘mourning’) and participate in the bare-footed practice of the (unfaniliar) very Japanese martial arts that had just been used to kill and maim millions throughout Asia between 1931-1945. The US demanded the spread of Japanese martial arts throughout the West in an effort to ‘hide’ and ‘obscure’ the martial arts of the Chinese people who were our allies during WWII – and who have been our peaceful neighbours for centuries!

Discussing the ‘Randori’ [乱取り] Concept Found within Okinawan & Japanese Martial Arts! (11.2.2024)

11/02/2024 Adrian (釋大道)

A skill is missing which must be acquired and formulated into an effective code. In other words, the ability to fight is a) lacking, b) must be attained, and c) its principles placed into a logical code for others to follow. Within Okinawan and Japanese martial arts this refers to training for combat – or what is referred to as ‘Sparring’ in the West. This is NOT sport fighting for egotistical reasons – but rather self-defence so that the physical body ‘survives’ any martial encounter. The body may be wounded or unhurt – either it is alive. This is different to gaining a piece of coloured cloth worn around the waist – or a shining tin cup, etc. Fighting for one’s life is very different to fighting for money.

The US Kami-Kaze ‘Re-Education Concentration Camp’ at ‘Fukuoka’! (20.6.2022)

21/06/2022 Adrian (釋大道)

Those who survived this process describe it as comprising of continuous psychological and physical torture that lasted for around one-month and which was administered by uniformed US Servicemen! This sounds very similar to the contemporary US torture carried-out in Iraq (and other places)! Those now former ‘Kami-Kaze’ Pilots who survived this ‘Re-Education’ process were ‘discharged’ back into Japanese society whilst the US Authorities (with the collusion of the ‘new’ Japanese Authorities) ‘watched’ these men everyday – ensuring that their employment, health and housing opportunities remained very basic and at an impoverished level of existence. These former ‘Kami-Kaze’ Pilots received no pension, no back-pay and were not allowed to attend any Remembrance Ceremonies or have any Monuments constructed to ‘Remember’ the sacrifice of the ‘Kami-Kaze’ Pilots – despite the US Military Authorities ‘filming’ a number of these attacks (so ‘shocked’ were the Americans to encounter this tactic)!

Distorted Zen – By Thomas Cleary

25/07/2016 Adrian (釋大道)

There are many differences between Chinese Ch’an and Japanese Zen – here the esteemed translator Thomas Cleary – focuses on the misunderstanding regarding ‘breathing’ as applied within the Japanese Zen schools, and how this deviates from Chinese Ch’an and Chinese Daoism.
