We will survive… and prosper.

According to this writer, it doesn’t seem Buddhists can trust most Muslims these days.
Although it is with a heavy heart, I agree that historically, Islam has proven to produce bloodthirsty soldiers and murderers in its own name. Notice that I say Islam has produced bloodthirsty soldiers; I am not saying Islam is necessarily the problem [...]

Back in formality – Autobiography

For the past few posts (especially the last three) I have largely been stuffing around, sharing my personal quirks, ideals and dreams on this blog. Today Buddha Warrior comes back in full form, all guns blazing, back to its original intent: the discussion of all matters deep and meaningful. I am probably going to write [...]

Drunk girl-on-girl. Party hard!

It’s astonishing how people change into someone else you don’t know at all once they have their social inhibitions loosened, i.e. they’re drunk. I’ve just come back from partying at the Chalk hotel with my mates (word was going round that I was a natural on the dance floor), and we copped an eyeful of [...]

The recent discovery of a super-planet (click here for the full story) that has potential for running surface water, and consequently, life, affirms my belief that it is quite unlikely we are alone in the universe as sentient beings.

My journey so far

I enjoy reading, studying, working, and watching cartoons by night. My favourite time to do so is at around 11:30pm or 12:00am. I switch off my room’s main light and turn on my desk lamp, so that light is given through the lamp and my computer screen. Two small sources of light is enough to [...]

3) Refuse to acknowledge or fight against oppression, lies, or injustice.
4) Teach a [...]

Zen monk loses insurance payment to investment scam

Full story here.
What scum. Cheating good men out of money they need to help their family. I don’t even really care that it was a Zen monk, they’ve probably been committing fraud against all their clients. They are as bad as the fanatics, as deceitful as the spiritual bullies and liars. I’m glad they are [...]

More than meets the eye

Unless you’ve had your head stuck in the sand for the past month, you will be aware that the Transformers movie by Michael Bay will be in cinemas soon. Transformers holds significance to me, although not as much as Batman or Tenjho Tenge. In the late 1990’s I would never miss an episode of Beast [...]
