Reality overcomes myth!

DPRK: Russian Orthodox Church Flourishes Under Socialism! (27.12.2024)

He added: “I went to Pyongyang in November 2018 and worshipped there. The North Korean government is very friendly to the Russian Orthodox Church. Our diplomats go to the cathedral, and the staff of the Bulgarian and Romanian embassies go to the church to pray. We have no trouble in North Korea, not even in carrying out activities.” The metropolitan stressed that all religious people in North Korea have all rights and opportunities, and they are happy to receive visits from the Russian Orthodox Church. He also said: “They welcomed us very much, we worshipped there, and they recognized me as a bishop.”

Zionists Destroy Shrine of the Prophet Yathar (PBUH)!

Lebanese News: Zionist War Crimes – Destroying Shrines of Islamic Prophets! (28.11.2024)

The Zionists have carried-on killing and destroying Gazan and Lebanese bodies and buildings during a ceasefire the US (falsely) claims the Israeli criminal regime is upholding! After-all, the Zionist-fascists are committing these “Genocidal” crimes using US, UK, and EU-provided weaponry. The West is responsible for the existence of the Israeli regime (a “White” invasion of Palestine) – and for providing it with the arms, money, and political support to carry-out a “holocaust” against Arab Muslims, Christians, and many others. Furthermore, the IDF deliberately targets women, children, the elderly and the disabled. In other words, those unable to protect themselves. IDF soldiers, usually “male”, are renowned for raping Arab women, as well as “children” (Paedophilia) – kidnapping them first. IDF men are also recorded “raping” Arab men – using participating in gang-rapes. Indeed, the UN had recorded that the IDF has one of the highest levels of sexual crime ever recorded committed by a modern military force – eclipsing that of the Nazi Germans, the Ukrainians and even the Croatians!

Buddhapadipa Temple - Wimbledon

Wimbledon: Buddhapadipa Temple & the Family of Geese! (29.5.2024)

It possesses a modest park with a small body of water, a mansion house and a temple complex. Indeed, we have visited here many times in the past. As with all such temples – it is free to enter – and no-one interferes with acts of private meditation. On occasion, the robed-clad monks (Bhikkhu-Beggar) might be seen walking through the grounds. As all animal cruelty is strictly forbidden, the local wildlife tends to behave in a much more relaxed and content manner – as if each animals perceives the “Dhamma” (Teaching) that is being practiced. Whatever the case, such an environment allows children to develop a caring attitude of respect for all animals – just one of the reasons we take our children to such places!

Emails: History & Origins of “Gregorian Chant”! (21.3.2024)

At the time I thought this was Gregorian Chant – but given that Greece is an Orthodox country – this analysis cannot be correct. Therefore, my question is this – did Pope Gregory I (540-604 CE) copy an already existing Orthodox Christian (monastic) practice – falsely claiming he had invented it – presenting this to the world as the Catholic practice of “Gregorian Chant”?

ISM: Urgent Call from Palestinian Prisoner Families! (8.2.2024)

Palestinian prisoners held by Israel have experienced brutal beatings, strip searches, threats of sexual assaults, denial of freedom to worship, pray and recite the Qur’an, deprivation of medical care, overcrowding, the reduction of already poor nutrition meals, starvation, the cutting of water and electricity, denial of warm clothes, and the deprivation of visits from family members, legal representatives, and humanitarian groups. Gaza prisoners face all these in addition to continuous torture where other prisoners hear their heart breaking screaming day and night. Some prisoners are missing and it is unknown if they are even still alive.

“While the world focuses on 136 Israelis held in Gaza they ignore 7,000 Palestinians held and abused by Israel. This discrimination is a grave injustice.” The ISM is passing the call of the families to you: “For all the free people, be the light of the prisoners’ darkness and their loud voice in all forums, they are addressing your consciences from the borders and edges of death.”
