The Disappearance of Ramalinga (ராமலிங்க) Swamigal! (20.4.2023)

20/04/2023 Adrian (釋大道)

My PhD is in ‘Spiritual Metaphysics’ – which suggests I study all phenomena relating to religion and the human experience of spirituality. To this end, I treated every experience with an objective impartiality – neither ‘agreeing’ nor ‘disagreeing’. Of course, I possess a personal opinion – the my personal opinions are a product of my freedom of thought and have no bearing upon what might – or might not – be happening. As I do not trust the slap-dash and haphazard manner in which US anti-intellectualism manipulates historical data on the US govermentally controlled ‘Wikipedia’ – I have accessed ‘Tamil’ language sources – and spoken to Tamil historians about the situation regarding Ramalinga Swamigal (1823-1874). He was borm ‘Thiruvarut Prakasa Vallalar’ (திருவருட் பிரகாச வள்ளலார்) in a village situated in the Madras area of British-controlled India. Like the Buddha, this man was a Hindu who cultivated a ‘reforming’ attitude. This Siddha was known as ‘Ramalinga Adigal’ (ராமலிங்க அடிகளார்) and more commonly as ‘Vallalar’ (வள்ளலார்) – which is written today as ‘Vadalur’ (வடலூர்) – or the place where he was born (situated in the Cuddalore District, Tamil Nadu).

Laos Buddhist-Socialist Republic: President Wishes Happy Buddhist New Year (2566)! (13.4.2023)

13/04/2023 Adrian (釋大道)

The New Buddhist Year of 2566 is about to start – it is another year in which we still have to face obstacles and challenges! Therefore, I would like to call on the entire Communist Party, the State, the Armed Forces and all the People of Laos to preserve and enhance the good (Buddhist) heritage of our nation, to enhance the unity that is a already strong bond, to focus all our strength through encouragement and intelligence in the mission of protecting and developing our nation, and to push the implementation of the two National Agendas (Buddhist and Socialist) into a more formal and integrated order as a means of self-strengthening – in this way we can create a strong and deep transformation in all fields of work in the coming year!

Dave Chappelle Tells Daphne’s Story (LGBTQ)! (1.4.2023)

01/04/2023 Adrian (釋大道)

The African traditions are said to cultivate and favour the use of ‘wisdom’ – and when I was young – I used to hear older Chinese people talk about possible historical and cultural links between ancient Africa and ancient China! This is a concept I have never heard emanating from the White (Bourgeois) Establishment! The reason is that the reality of the African ‘wisdom’ tradition’ is not recognised by the White Europeans as being ‘true’ or ‘factual’. What kind of people would allow themselves to be enslaved – or so the Western thinking goes! It does not occur to these people that a superior and more civilised people are more easily exploited by a less civilised people! Surely, when you watch the above video – you will be seeing a ‘wise’ African man dispensing his ‘healing’ wisdom!

Buddhapadipa: Respecting Buddha! (10.4.2022)

10/04/2022 Adrian (釋大道)

This is how ‘truth’ (whatever that is) is discovered, strengthened and put to work in the service of others! A Red Army, a Red Envelop and a Red Herring – we must learn to distinguish one from another and take the path that best expresses the highest expression of human nature!

Buddhapadipa: A Tale of Two Elephants! (10.4.2022)

10/04/2022 Adrian (釋大道)

If anyone can repair this, please contact the Temple. Upon reflection I suspect children climbing the elephants have not helped matters over the years… The left-hand elephant nobly sustained our two children!

Buddhapadipa: Traversing the Temple! (10.4.2022)

10/04/2022 Adrian (釋大道)

The attitude of the Buddha exists within the sacred space of this temple in a country which otherwise advocates a brutal and uncaring socio-economic ideology and society! The Buddha would never have accepted this system as being ‘valid’ or applicable for attaining and living with a healthy mind and body!
