Laos: Buddhist-Socialist Republic Cares for Disabled People – December 3rd – “International Day for Persons with Disabilities”! (4.12.2024)

04/12/2024 Adrian (釋大道)

This is just one of many paths to progress. Around the world, persons with disabilities are leading the way in identifying innovative solutions that break down barriers and create a more accessible world. That advances equality for everyone.

On this International Day for Persons with Disabilities, let us join forces in making it easier for persons with disabilities to share their experiences and knowledge and to influence decisions that impact their lives.

Let us work together to build societies that are more inclusive – to the benefit of persons with disabilities and the benefit of us all.

Far-Right Hypocrisy and [2024] Boots Xmas Advert! (30.11.2024)

30/11/2024 Adrian (釋大道)

The typical (Christian) Monastic Rule states that on the day of the birth of Jesus Christ (Christmas Day), the monks, nuns and lay-observants (oblates), are solemn, humble, conscientious, profoundly aware, and committed to the structures of the Rule they follow. The interesting thing, however, is that the day of Christ’s birth is no more – and no less – significant than any other of the 364 days that exist throughout the year within the monastic cycle. Yes – various holy days (including Christmas Day) attract specific sermons and rituals – but these are inserted into the general daily framework of the Monastic Rule itself. Extra-food and extra-drink (outside of that already permitted by the Rule) is not allowed. A break from the daily round of monastic duty (outside the Rule) is not allowed. Finally, as the monastics and lay-observants own “nothing” (not even their robes) – there is never any giving of gifts (private property is not permitted under the Rule).

China: Country Set to Advance Sci-Tech Popularization! (5.11.2024)

05/11/2024 Adrian (釋大道)

The proportion of Chinese citizens with scientific literacy increased from 1.98 percent in 2003 to 14.14 percent last year, according to results of a survey released in April by the China Association for Science and Technology.

For the first time, the gap in scientific literacy levels of citizens in the eastern, central and western regions has narrowed, while gender disparities have also been further reduced, the data showed.

Meanwhile, China’s rank in the global innovation index has climbed from 34 in 2012 to 11 this year, making it the only middle-income economy among the top 30, according to the Global Innovation Index 2024, which was published in September by the World Intellectual Property Organization.

DPRK: “Officials – Become Communist Revolutionaries – Possessing Party’s Original Spirit & Ideal!” (11.10.2024)

11/10/2024 Adrian (釋大道)

All the officials should embody the Party’s original ideals and spirit, and they should remain faithful to their responsibility and duty as the leading personnel of the revolution in the ongoing drive to open up a golden age for strengthening the whole party and achieving national prosperity.

Filled with greater conviction and mounting morale, we are advancing more vigorously and confidently to bring earlier the victory of socialist and communist construction by carrying forward the invaluable and sacred ideals and spirit.

The intention in pioneering the cause of the Workers’ Party of Korea was a truth, and its victory is a truth as well.

The great soul of our forerunners is encouraging us.

Let us all endeavour to keep up the revolutionary upsurge in the new era by making redoubled efforts to achieve proud results with a strong sense of honour and responsibility as befitting the hard core of the great Party and the leading personnel of the revolution.

Email: Greetings From Behind the Sandbags – UK Show – Down with the Far-Right! (10.8.2024)

10/08/2024 Adrian (釋大道)

Well, the far-right have has had its moment in the UK – and it has failed – like an infantry assault that ran-out of inherent momentum, purpose, and point. The British public did not rise-up in support of the fascists – and they are slightly confused by this lack of more general support. The (centre-right) Labour government has imprisoned hundreds (mostly “White”) in quick fashion – but this includes some (Asian) Muslim protestors being arrested whilst opposing the far-right and supporting Palestine. Within the media, I notice more “people of colour” being presented as hunted criminals who are threats to law and order. The Labour government seems to be attempting to placate what it thinks is the “White” majority – who might be disturbed by supposed non-White crime, etc.

Email: Book – Rise of the Warrior Cop! (30.6.2024)

01/07/2024 Adrian (釋大道)

The UK developed such a Police Force in 1800 – but this was long after the US went her own way. I think there is an argument that the White Authorities of the US developed a Police Force as a means to control America’s non-White populations – perhaps a point you may have previously made in your work. The idea being that breaking the law is something non-White people do – evil acts that must be seen to be punished!
