Political Philosophy Of No Ideology

A Buddhist does not believe in Buddhism. Belief is not a part of daily life of a Buddhist. Truth is a means, not an end, and Dharma is to be discarded once its usefulness is exhausted. What is known as "Miracle of Han River" is not to be attributed to Confucian ethics, Oriental Calvinism or Barrack discipline. It comes straight out of Diamond Sutra: Dharma is not to be understood or made to be understood. That is a rejection of ideology as a core of political philsophy.

Korean Buddhism is the only Buddhism which accepts the internal contradictions and duality of Buddhism itself. As Deng Shao Ping of China said, you do not care if a cat is white or black as long as it catches mice. This is what Dalai Lama has been saying but people don't want to heed his saying. People want to worship him. There is no cure for ignorance.


When you find a man shot with an arrow, don't ask who shot the arrow.   Pull it out, then protect him.

Apple vs Samsung

Apple vs Samsung

 The most recent counterattack against Samsung by Apple was to go to the federal court and let lawyers decide the fight. Now it is bringing in a marketing guru as a CEO. I predict that such move will bring down Apple rather soon.

Samsung has 5,000 Ph.D's in its work force. The number is expected to increase rapidly. South Korea has the highest number of Ph.D's per capita in the world. This resulted from an enormous national investment in education. The majority of the domestic work force of Apple consists of low-wage retail employees. You just can't run a modern industry with a bunch of money changers, gamblers and peddlers. Look what they did to Detroit.

Kubla Khan and Phgaspa Scripts

Kubla Khan and Phgaspa Scripts
 
 
The ninfluence of Nestorian Christianity in Far Eastern culture.
Kubla Khan's wife (Queen of Yuan Dynasty of China) was a Nestorian Christian. Contrary to what is being taught in schools, Kubla Khan was a man of enlightenment (sorry about Kamikaze). He commissioned a Tiobetan Buddhist Lama to create standardized scripts for the entire Yuan (Mongol) empire. These scripts are known as "phagsa" scripts. These appear to be based on old Aramaic scripts, as were Sanskrit scripts adopted Emperor Kanushka of Kushan Empire (Pakistan and Afghanistan). Korean "Hangul are basically a modification and simplification of phagspa scripts Yuan Dynasty. Modern Tibetan and Mongolian scripts are phagspa scripts. Kubla Khan was, as with modern Tibetans and Mongolians, a Buddhist. As such, he was quite tolerant of other religions.

Himmler dispatched German scholars to Tibet to investigate the origin of Aryan Race. But he was not well guided or en...lightened by Buddhist scholars for more or less obvious reasons.

King Sejong the Great wanted newly created Hangul scripts to represent both Korean and China language. Original version, as with Phagspa of Yuan Dybasty, as scirpts for "f" and "v." Korean language has neither of them. However, Chinese never liked the idea of writing in scripts created by a Tibetan and adopted by Mongols. Chinese, to their misfortune, kept up with cumbersome Mandarin idiograms. Elite Confucian literati felt theatened by the writing tool which can be learned and mastered easily by the mass. So, then Chinese kicked out Mongols, out went the precious tool of mass education and enlightenment, bringing about dark age of stagnation and paralysis. There was a time when some Korean and Chinese radicals tried to bring Esperanto into mass culture. But it didn't go far. It was just a revised Portuguese created by a Polish Ideologue. Another colonial domination masquarading as enlightenment and liberal reform.

Korean Scripts And ASramaic Scripts

Korean Scripts And ASramaic Scripts
 
The importance of Aramaic scripts has been down-p0layed for reasons I can only speculate. Brahmi, Sanskit, Mongolian, Tibetan scripts are based on Aramaic scripts.
Korean scripts were created by Sejong the Great, the 4th king of Choseon D...yn asty of Korea in 15th Century. He organized a committee of scholars who were dispatched to Central Asia to investigaste different written forms of scripts. The committee submitted their findings and recommendation which the king accepted. These scripts are known as "Hangul" and are used by both North Korea and South Korea. The scripts are readily translatable into the digital codes, enabling Samsung to literally run over Apple. I learned the historical origin of Hangul by a scholar he spent his entire life traveling and studying monuments, stone edicts, and asrtifacts of Northern Asia. Recently, Professor Ledgard of Columbia University came up with a similar discovery.
