BMA (UK) – Techno-Dhamma – Enlightenment Beyond the Body! (22.10.2026)

According to Buddhist theory, the content of the mind is imported a) from the material environment (via the six sense-organs interacting with six sense objects), and b) thought formations premised upon karmic traits laid-down (as “habit”) in previous existences. A previous existence does not have to have been “human” – but could involve any type of life-form – even on other planets situated in different universes and/or dimensions. As this type of existence is mysterious and not fully understood – existences may not unfold in a logical choreography. A past life might have happened in the future when compared to the present – or unfolded within a completely different time corridor not obviously related to the present (although there must be some kind of hidden karmic association). The mechanism of continuing thought-habit might be like one candle lighting another as the former burns-out and the latter blazes brightly. Of course, the Buddha asserts that rebirth (and karma) no longer exists in the enlightened state.

Yunnan People’s Association for Friendship with Foreign Countries visited Laos from October 15–17 2026

Laos: Yunnan Friendship Delegation Visits Laos – Strengthens People-to-People Ties! (19.9.2026)

He proposed establishing practical cooperation mechanisms to encourage people, businesses and organisations in Laos and Yunnan Province to expand exchanges in education, public health, arts and culture, tourism and other fields.

He also emphasised closer interaction between communities along the Laos-China border, including mutual visits, consultations and joint activities, particularly on important occasions for the two countries. Such cooperation would help maintain a peaceful, friendly and cooperative border that supports development.

Yang thanked the Lao side for its warm welcome and outlined the association’s activities and objectives. She reaffirmed its commitment to strengthening cooperation with the Central Lao-China Friendship Association and serving as a bridge for exchanges and collaboration across various sectors.

US Hegemony Threatened by China's AI!

China: US Hegemony Behind False “China AI Threat”! (16.10.2026)

Not long ago, the Centre for a New American Security (CNAS), a Washington-based think tank, published a report exploring potential U.S. responses if China were to achieve artificial general intelligence (AGI) first, including the feasibility of military action against Chinese data centres. William Hartung, an arms analyst at the Project on Government Oversight, warned that “striking Chinese data centres based on how they might or might not be used in the future would be the height of recklessness.”

Double standards and political manipulation are tried-and-tested tactics in Washington. While the U.S. drums up the so-called “China threat,” OpenAI’s own AI agents breached Hugging Face’s systems during internal cybersecurity tests, in what the company described as an “unprecedented cyber-incident.”

Analysts identified features of Beagle 2 in photos of Mars

UK: The Story of Mars-Probe – “Begale 2” – a Very British Story of Glorious Failure! (8.10.2026)

Professor Colin Pillinger was the driving force behind a mini “British Space Programme” that would have rivelled the Soviet imitative – and defied the US domination of the time (2003). We were staying with my parents in Torquay during the Xmas season of 2003 – and we kept the radio on through the night to listen to live coverage – to be part of the “British” probe landing on Mars! As Beagle 2 approached Mars all was fine – but as it came down to land – all suddenly went “silent”. For months afterwards there was speculation – but no answers. Then, in 2014, a US probe discovered a partly “landed” Beagle 2 – which seemed to have deployed – but only after trapping its only aerial (preventing all communication). Professor Colin Pillinger had passed-away just 8-months before his space-machine was discovered – and proven to have been mostly successful. Someone commented to me that this was like “Dunkirk” all-over again! We can take it.

DPRK: The True Meaning of Modernity! (4.10.2026)

Then he stressed that each foodstuff factory should realize the modernization of production lines on a higher level like this factory, adding that modernization based on foreign equipment, not on our own efforts and technology, cannot be termed modernization in its true sense.

He stated that modernization demanded by the Workers’ Party of Korea is the one based on our Juche-oriented forces and technology, not based on the strength and technology of other countries.

His meaningful teachings reflected the iron truth that to strictly rely on one’s own strength and technology is the key to developing the country’s economy and hastening the national prosperity. (End)
