Thailand: Western Degenerates Lament Enforcement of Buddhist Morality! (10.11.2025)

10/11/2025 Adrian (釋大道)

With the possibility of drinkers themselves being fined, sales of alcohol may halve during those times, Bob, an assistant manager working on Friday said, declining to give his full name because he is not authorised to speak publicly.

There is also concern the stricter laws present an opportunity for officials to enforce fines on customers, restaurants — or both — for personal gain.

Taopiphop Limjittrakorn, a member of parliament from the opposition People’s Party who has pushed for liquor liberalisation, said alcohol sales should be around the clock. “The amended law aims to serve the purpose of those opposing alcohol,” Mr Taopiphop said.

They also risk confusing foreign tourists who may order a drink before the restricted hours but consume it afterward, he said.

In Thailand, where Buddhism is the main religion, practitioners and monks follow the Five Precepts, which include abstaining from alcohol and intoxicants to promote mindfulness and avoid heedlessness.

Why Are White British Racists Running Away to Thailand? (29.8.2025)

29/08/2025 Adrian (釋大道)

Ironically, whilst receiving the highest form of civility when self-exiled to Thailand – it never occurs to these fools that the wise Thais are uprooting the entire foundation of their racist world view! Of course, the Thais are not fools and if Western behaviour crosses a certain line, then physical violence might occur. This will be sudden, spectacular, painful, and decisive. The pain suffered is considered the appropriate karmic reaction to whatever offense led to its application. Some of these British racists have tried to rape Thai children (the evil “immigrant” they try to convince us exists behind every lamp-post in the UK) – and so Thai men (all of whom have trained as monks, soldiers and Muay Thai fighters) apply the appropriate medicine. If too many lines are crossed – then a Western body is often found stripped naked and floating in a local river. Again, karma, whilst no one questioned has seen a thing. This is what awaits the average White British racist if they are cowards and decide to run away from the consequences of their actions in the UK!

The Buddha & Secular Enlightenment! (3.7.2025)

03/07/2025 Adrian (釋大道)

If this was the case, why did the Buddha reject Brahmanism? Why did the Buddha bite the hand that fed him? Well, he practiced all the available meditative paths, mastered them all, and realised none of them expressed the ultimate truth. He carried-on training in meditation as the Upanishads advised – and saw through all the conditioning of his mind, body, and environment. He gave up caste privilege and all work for money. He knew that this would lead to starvation, homelessness, and nakedness. He resolved these issues by dressing himself in rags found in the charnel grounds (the clothing of dead who were to poor to be cremated), he acquired the skull-cap of a dead person and used it as a begging bowl as he walked from village to village quietly requesting waste-food on a daily basis, and he sat under the foot of a tree when he meditated. The Buddha left society and lived on the forested outskirts of Hindu society. Of course, the Buddha still physically lived in India, and interfaced with Hindu society, but he did this under a completely new contract of understanding.

China: Historical Protocol Decided Regarding Reincarnation of Living Buddha! (2.7.2025)

02/07/2025 Adrian (釋大道)

It was not until 1780, when the sixth Panchen travelled to Chengde to offer birthday greetings to the Qianlong Emperor and reported on the matter, that the emperor accepted the appeals from the Panchen and other Tibetan Buddhist leaders to officially recognize Jampel Gyatso as the eighth Dalai Lama. In 1781, when the Qianlong Emperor formally conferred the title of the eighth Dalai Lama, he simultaneously affirmed Kelsang Gyatso as the seventh Dalai Lama and Tsangyang Gyatso as the sixth. This marked a direct clarification and ordering of the Dalai Lama reincarnation lineage from the perspective of the central government, highlighting the central government’s authority in managing the issue of the Dalai Lama’s reincarnation.

Mr. Phetla Thanthavongsa, Director of the Department of Bilateral Parliamentary Relations under the Committee on Foreign Affairs, stated that the MoU aims to enhance monastic education by supporting human resource development, fundraising, provision of educational materials, and infrastructure development. The collaboration is expected to strengthen both monks and lay practitioners in their educational roles, increasing the efficiency and effectiveness of Buddhist education in both countries.

Xizang: Historical Archives Demonstrate China’s Clear Sovereignty Over Tibet Region! (15.7.2024)

15/07/2024 Adrian (釋大道)

As the result of Xizang’s largest land census in history, the inventory is an important document for the study of the possession of the production means under feudal serfdom. In the 129 years before the 1959 democratic reform, the government, aristocrats and monasteries used it as the basis for issues relating to land, serfs and mandatory labour.

“Contrary to what some Western countries claim, the inventory showed that the central government had complete sovereignty over the region a long time ago,” Rinchen Tenzin added.

Since the establishment of diplomatic relations between China and the United States, successive U.S. administrations have pursued the one-China policy, recognized Xizang as a part of China, and promised not to support separatist activities, said Zhang Shigao, director of the Institute of Contemporary Studies at the China Tibetology Research Center.

“However, in practice, the United States often treats these commitments with negligence and even blatantly violates them,” Zhang added.
