Islam: Interactional Acts of Worship [عبادتك التعاملية]! (16.2.2025)

16/02/2025 Adrian (釋大道)

Do not think that religion is about praying, fasting, reading the Quran, paying zakat, performing Hajj, and uttering the Shahada, and that’s it? No..!!

These acts of worship (ritualistic acts of worship) are obligatory duties for which you will be held accountable, but you will not reap their fruits and achieve their goals unless your (interactional acts of worship) are correct. They will not be correct if you are unjust, negligent, hurt, lie, and curse.

ا تتوهم أن الدين هو أن تصلي، وتصوم، وتقرأ القرآن، وتزكي، وتحج، وتنطق الشهادة، وانتهى الأمر ؟ لا ..!!

هذه العبادات (عبادات شعائرية) وهي فرائض ستحاسب عليها، لكنك لن تقطف ثمارها ولن تحقق أهدافها إلا إذا صحَّت (عبادتك التعاملية) لن تصح اذا ظلمت، وقصرت، وأذيت وكذبت وشتمت..

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.”

18/12/2024 Adrian (釋大道)

Disabled people have always been present and active in society. Many specialists and experts around the world have started to investigate representations and lived experiences of disability and care in the past through archaeology and museum collections. The objects and remains highlighted here demonstrate some of the stories we are uncovering and hint at the discoveries that might be made in the future. We hope that these stories will demonstrate to everyone that disabled people have always existed and been part of the story of humanity, and empower disabled people to see themselves in history, and to continue making it, thousands of years into the future.

Zionists Destroy Shrine of the Prophet Yathar (PBUH)!

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

28/11/2024 Adrian (釋大道)

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!

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)

21/03/2024 Adrian (釋大道)

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”?
