Venerable Old Master Xu Yun [虚云]: No Difference Between a Monk and a Lay-Person! (14.10.2023)

For instance, by cross-referencing the below May 1955 Dharma-Talk with the text of ‘Empty Cloud’ for that year – a more all-round picture can be built of exactly what was happening and how Master Xu Yun was reacting to it. To be clear, Master Xu Yun was adamant that an ordained Buddhist monastic must follow ALL the rules of the Vinaya Discipline and that a lay-person must follow a least five, eight or ten of the basic vows contained in the Vinaya Discipline. This is a practical distinction Master Xu Yun upheld – as he rejected the Japanese Zen tradition of monks being allowed to eat meat, drink alcohol and get married. Such individuals are ‘lay-people’ and NOT monks. This being the case, what is Master Xu Yun referring to when he states that there is ‘no difference’ between the ordained Sangha and the laity?

Tibet: US Racism Continues To Disinform and Encourage Pro-Tibetan Movement! (24.8.2023)

In high-altitude regions where people are scattered across large areas, including in Tibet, boarding schools help solve the problem of students who have to travel long distances to get to school, Wang said.

It is a practical way to centralize education resources and ensure children’s equal rights to education, he said.

He said the students are free to return home during holidays and weekends and parents can visit their children or take them home according to their needs at any time.

Traditional culture courses including Tibetan language and dances are also set up, he said, adding the students are free to wear ethnic clothes at school.

Boarding schools in Tibet are vivid examples of ways to protect human rights and cultural traditions in the region, the spokesman said.

Qinghai Prohibits Illegal Crossing Uninhabited Areas for Exploration Following Fatalities! (23.8.2023)

Furthermore, the statement particularly underscores that without proper authorization or reporting to relevant authorities, no individual or organization shall organize tourist groups under the pretext of exploration, crossing, or scientific research to venture deep into natural conservation areas. In the event of getting stranded, the full cost of rescue operations will be borne entirely by the involved individuals and groups.

Travelers should carefully assess their routes, and pay attention to weather forecasts, geological hazards, and traffic conditions while also maintaining ample reserves of supplies and ensuring vehicle maintenance, which is essential to ensure the safety of the journey, said the statement.

Neo-Nazi Ukraine: Buddhists in the Russian Army! (15.8.2023)

The Kalmyks are of Mongolian ethnic origin and originate from North Xinjiang – an area invaded by the Tibetans. As the Tibetans converted to Buddhism – this philosophy was spread through the empire they had carved out for themselves as barbarians. As Lamaism is a corrupt form of feudal (landlord) Buddhism – there is evidence to suggest that various ethnic groups living within Tibetan-controlled territory (which included West China) were ‘forced’ into adopting Buddhism. This is how I suspect the Kalmyk people became ‘Tibetan Buddhist’. Indeed, it is how most Mongolians living in South and West China were originally ‘converted’ to this Indian religion.

The Case for Abolishing the False Construct of ‘Whiteness’! (6.7.2023)

DNA tests of this clan has apparently demonstrated a genetic link to this area. Obviously, the Vikings had not yet arrived in Eastern Europe around 1,700 BCE – and would not do so for around another 2,000 years! Whoever these people were who migrated into India as ‘Aryans’ – they were NOT Western or Northern Europeans. This proves that the idea that the ‘Aryans’ were ‘Europeans’ is a myth. They may well have been some type of Central Asian with a typical ‘light’ complexion routinely found in the Far East – although examples of these indigenous people still exist within Eastern Russia (a collection of different people who look ‘Chinese’).
