China: How to Read the Buddhist “卍” (Swastika) Symbol Currectly! (17.10.2024)

17/10/2024 Adrian (釋大道)

Empress Wu Zetian (武则天) of the Tang Dynasty was attracted to Buddhism very much and often invited Ch’an Masters to the palace to explain Buddhist Sutras to her. It was under the promotion of Wu Zetian that Huayan (华严) Sect became a major Buddhist school during the Tang Dynasty.

At that time, there was still no consensus on the pronunciation of “卍” within Buddhism. Some people insisted that it should be pronounced as “万” (Wan4) or “The Ten Thousand Thing” – but others opposed this interpretation – and believed it should be pronounced as “万”(mo2) or “Scorpion” – referring to an Oracle Bone Inscription which refers to a non-Chinese primitive tribe (during the Shang Dynasty) that worshipped the “Scorpion” whilst mimicking its movements in a ritualistic dance (perhaps implying the “foreignness” of India).

Terri Hoffman – Who Gives a ‘F’ck’? (4.3.2023)

04/03/2023 Adrian (釋大道)

It looks to me that Terri Hoffman devised a form of ‘live’ gaming well befor the advent of the internet – and ruthlessly ‘sold’ this to her followers – who were forced to ‘sell’ these products onward, outside of their immediate circle. As ‘capitalism’ is NOT a crime in the US, I do not see what all the fuss is about. This is a country whose government routinely propagates ‘racist’ lies about China, North Korea and Cuba, etc, and the Police Force of which routinely murders Black people in situations where White people are arrested and taken into custody without injury or even violence! Stupidity and lack of ‘free thinking’ are the defining points of modern America – and Terri Hoffman personifies both of these attributes! Within a ruthless (predatory) capitalist society like the US – possessing an ample supply of money is one way of ensuring the building of a barrier between an individual and the realities of material existence! In other words, money gives an individual ‘choices’ through which ‘relief’ from the reality of everyday life can be ‘relieved’. This includes buying a big house in a good area, ample supplies of good food, good medical care and endless opportunities for leisure! Terri Hoffman achieved all this and was found NOT Guilty of murdering anyone after a four-year investigation! I would have thought the US government would have applauded her capitalistic abilities, particularly as they utilised many different aspects of the ‘inverted’ attributes that comprise religion – including the ‘racist’ misrepresentation of Asian religion!

Thomas Lynn Bradford (1873-1921) Explorer of Consciousness

At physical death, the life processes become dormant and non-functional – they do not travel as a disembodied entity to some other plane simply because these life process are the product of biological function and not spiritual transmigration. As and when Cryogenics solves the riddle of existence, the theistic religious view will be finally proven wrong.

Seeing Through Alan Watts

In exactly the same socio-economic ‘space’ that Alan Watts peddles his pseudo-intellectualism, Adolf Hitler contrived his pogroms and Concentration Camps.

X-Files Debunks Tibetan Myth

01/03/2016 Adrian (釋大道)

The Buddha rejected ‘idealism’ as being an expression of deluded thought, but the Theosophist Movement essentially interpreted Asian spiritual culture through a Judeo-Christian filter, and this was compounded by the work of DT Suzuki, who mistakenly presented in English translation, the Lankavatara Sutra as being an idealists charter, rather than the sophisticated analysis of the human mind existing and interacting in the physical world that it undoubtedly is.

How a Plumber’s Ego Shaped the Western View of Tibet

11/12/2014 Adrian (釋大道)

This pretentious drivel is supposedly from an ‘ordained’ and highly ‘evolved’ Tibetan Lama who has taken a vow not to handle or possess money of any kind (i.e. gold or silver, etc.). The tone of this piece is highly defensive, whilst making (what is in reality), a call for more funds. Hoskin’s attitude is abusive to his own readership – who have after, all already purchased his books – as he attempts in a disjointed manner, to assert an egotistical control over their habit of daring to contact the person who has written such an impressive and nonsensical myth! In this page and a quarter of pure vitriol, Hoskin reveals the true nature of his thoroughly unevolved, selfish, and poorly educated psyche.
