Buddha

Today I’m on a shorter cycle ride, back to the peace pagoda in Battersea Park

I remember it being built when I lived in South London in the early 80s

Factoid

Buddhist?

I go with the Marx brothers view that I wouldn’t join a club that would have me as a member.

Maybe I have a slightly different approach and do join lots of things —- Boys Brigade, Sunday School, Scouts, Youth Club, Air Cadets (ATC), Jesus freak in my teens.

But I don’t necessarily stick with one thing or hang around

I’m from the U.K. where I’ve lived most of my life, travelled a bit and now settled(?) in India. I tell people I’ve had five careers having facilitated lots of things in all the sectors.

I’ll discuss politics, religion, Spirituality and philosophy with our guests who think I’m Buddhist. I like what it represents but even Gautam wouldn’t be inclined to join a club.

I live on the Limen, a view that was often discussed with my MPhil supervisor.

The Pagoda is in a great location by the river Thames

London campaign against the Russian war with the Ukraine

SFLeave a comment

A campaigning group using direct action to challenge.

Its name comes from World War One when the inept leaders were considered to be donkeys leading the lions who were the ordinary soldiers.

Humour but biting.

A stunt to challenge the war.

The blue and yellow paint helped create the Ukraine flag outside the Russian Embassy in London.

Direct action, questioning and challenging is an essential part of democracy.

My Indian friends can’t quite believe how disrespectful we are of our politicians.

Rupert Murdoch (he’s politically distorted and corrupted our media) even got the treatment in New York.
Innovating at public demonstrations

This takes so much planning, skilful implementation and absolute daring.

I’m so impressed.
