Bishop Richard Williamson says No Gas Cambers existed.. As time passes and memories of mass slaughter diminish, many people start to doubt that people could do such ghastly things to others. They think, ‘can it really be true? Surely not?’. And so it is with the nutty Bishop. Don’t let his bumbling aristocratic ramblings fool [...]

I’ve just been reading this fascinating book, Encountering the Dharma: Daisaku Ikeda, Soka Gakkai, and the Globalization of Buddhist Humanism by a non-Buddhist, Richard Seager, who gives a really good, well-balanced investigation into Buddhism, the Soka Gakkai (SGI) and it’s meteoric rise in popularity under the inspirational personas of Makiguchi, Toda and Ikeda. Well you’d [...]

I’m absolutely certain that the “British Character” would be not so magnanimous if our country had been over-run and fought over by say…Iran fighting Iraq, for example. What Do I mean? Today on BBC News, there is a report about a previous British War “Campaign” (I hate that word): Iraq presents a lesson from history [...]

I came across this wonderful piece by chance, looking for some background information on Nikko, the second guy after [...]

My quotation from the Buddhist monk, Nichiren Daishonin, could now really have the word land exchanged for the more relevant world. If the [...]
