6. Ignorance. Why we became so ignorant that to kill another human being? Report by Talpavila Shanta Himi What is God?
The simple answer: God is, in a word, the imagination of an ignorant person (with no concept of karma or the afterlife) to a multitude of questions: What is this world? When was this world created? Why was it created? Who created it? And so on. The real problem is not knowing who created this world? The problem starts when you are forced to believe the wrong answer by religion and education. Not knowing the truth doesn't make a person a killer. But if you are fooled to believe about a creator, then using one's stupidity you can be driven to kill people. 3 things nobody can escape. We get old, sick and die. The science has no answer why? The Buddha realized the truth about all these inevitable events. Buddhism is not a religion. It is pure conscience. 'Do not seek justice where there is no honesty'-Russian saying.

/ George B Shaw /
The only time my education was interrupted was when I was in school.
"George Bernard Shaw, (born July 26, 1856, Dublin, Ire.—died Nov. 2, 1950, Ayot St. Lawrence, Hertfordshire, Eng.), Irish playwright and critic. After moving to London in 1876, he worked for years as a music and art critic, wrote book and theatre reviews, and was an active member of the socialist Fabian Society. In his first play, Widowers’ Houses (1892), he emphasized social and economic issues instead of romance, adopting the ironic comedic tone that would characterize all his work. He described his first plays as “unpleasant” because they forced the spectator to face unpleasant facts; these plays include Mrs. Warren’s Profession (1893), which concerns prostitution and was barred from performance until 1902. He then wrote four “pleasant” plays, including the comedies Arms and the Man (1894) and Candida (1895). His next plays include Caesar and Cleopatra (1899) and Man and Superman (1905). He used high comedy to explore society’s foibles in Major Barbara (1905), The Doctor’s Dilemma (1911), and Pygmalion (1913), his comedic masterpiece. Other notable plays include Androcles and the Lion (1912), Heartbreak House (1919), and Saint Joan (1923). His other writings and speeches made him a controversial public figure for much of his life. He received the Nobel Prize in 1925." (Britannica)

2. Conscience vs Religion. Report by Talpavila Shanta Himi from the Nepal/India border on 9th April 2026
“There is such a thing as conscience. It is more precious than fame, more precious than luxury—more precious than anything else, especially at my age. For in your final moments, you will reflect on what you have done and how you treated others.” - -comments by the most popular pop singer of the 1980s in Russia -Alla Pugacheva.
For any human being, Truth must be of paramount importance. Our channel is named "PravoNaSovest" (The Right to Be Right), for conscience is a key and invaluable quality—one essential for finding true friends and, ultimate Noble Happiness. Without a conscience, you cannot distinguish evil from good, Truth from Falsehood.

In days gone by—before the use of condoms —there was no need to register marriages. If a father does not run away from his own child (abandoning own child is an act below even an animal's instinct)—then is there really any point in registering a marriage at all. From the very moment of the woman’s pregnancy, the father would care for the mother throughout the ensuing 8 or 9 months; period indeed, he wouldn't seek out another woman (much similar to any animal behavior). If a healthy mother bore 7 or 8 children—with an interval of 1 year between births—the young father simply had no time left for anything other than finding food and shelter for his family. Each time a healthy mother and father, brought a new child into the world, she seemed to become younger—both in beauty and in health. The father had neither the time nor the point to seek love elsewhere, given that his own wife looked twenty years younger than her actual age. This is precisely how all young fathers lived—without armies or marriage registries. Wars became inevitable because we have forgotten how to channel the energy of our youth. We keep millions of people in the army, the navy, etc. not for the sake of national defense, but solely to keep them under control—to prevent revolutions and uprisings.

11.‘"Breaking 5 rules of morality and prison”. Engl.Text by Talpavila Shanta Himi Extract from Most ven Pallegama Samitha Maha Thero's commentary to Velama Sutta part4.
We have wrong concept about morality. Religion has hijacked morality from common sense and conscience. We think that killing, taking property ungiven, s*x unallowed by guardian, lying to cheat, taking intoxications are sins with punishments after life. To check it one has to die. In fact anybody can see it himself here and now or find yogis who see many births by meditation or just listen to stories of children talking about previous births. So called science(that ends with God- Marx Plank) and religion( starts with God) don’t allow such truth to surface in order to keep monopoly on truth. Leave them all. We can see ourselves that nobody wants to die, get cheated, burgled etc. using our commen sense.
Buddhism is Clear conscience; 'Do not look for Justice where there is no conscience(honesty)- Russian saying.

10.‘Pancasila. "Violation of Panchasila and the need of law enforcement organs (Police, courts etc.)”. Engl.Text by Talpavila Shanta Thero Extract from Most ven Pallegama Samitha Maha Thero's commentary to Velama Sutta part4.
If we believe that killing is permissible, we resort to violence and unleash wars. If we are killers, we cannot have true friends. And if we have no true friends, we are forced to depend on the inner enemies (greed for properties of others', hate and ignorance) and lies. If we are slaves to lies—and internal enemies —we are incapable of thinking clearly. To break free from this cycle is a true miracle.
Buddhism is Clear conscience; it is neither religion (no Dogma that legalize lie and all other evils) nor ‘science (science ends with God- Marx Plank)’ 'Do not look for Justice where there is no conscience(honesty)- Russian saying.

In the Sathankulam police station custodial death case of a father-son duo (P. Jayaraj and J. Bennix) in Tamil Nadu in 2020, the court has sentenced 9 guilty police officers to death, six years after the incident. In this landmark verdict, the testimony of Head Constable Revathi proved to be the most decisive.
Revathi, who was on duty that night, witnessed the father and son being brutally beaten while stripped inside the police station. Despite facing pressure and threats from fellow officers, she revealed the full truth before Judicial Magistrate M.S. Bharathidasan. Revathi, a mother of two daughters, recounted the torture minute by minute, emphasizing the need for protection for herself and her family. She testified how the victims were forced to clean their own blood.
Along with filing her statement, Revathi identified the accused officers by watching CCTV footage. It was based on her courageous and detailed testimony against her senior colleagues, despite being a junior officer herself, that the police officers’ crimes were proven and they were sentenced to death.

3.Wrong vision, atrocities and religion. Report from Nepal by Talpavila Shanta Himi 07.04.2026
99% of people hate the truth because it destroys the illusory world of pleasure. That's why the truth is so undesirable in the modern world that if you wish to tell the truth first, make people laugh. For example, I start with a picture of a stray dog converted to Hinduism.
Buddhism isn’t a religion or ‘science’. It is the teaching about the Truth called Dhamma. Understanding of fundamental truths need pure heart, honesty to yourself and to the world outside. A gentleman or a religious person or a scientist can’t understand the Noble truth. Do not seek for justice where there is no honesty (conscience).A Russian proverb.
