Welcome to my Blog. I'm a practising member of SGI-UK a lay buddhist organisation practising the Buddhism of Nichiren Daishonin. It is often described as a practise of Active Humanism which I think reflects it perfectly. The basic practise is the chanting of 'Nam Myoho Renge Kyo' on a daily basis and putting the practise into use in our daily lives thereby making this a practical rather than esoteric form of Buddhism. For more information, please follow the Buddhist links on the right of this page


“Prayer is the courage to persevere. It is the struggle to overcome our own weakness and lack of confidence in ourselves. It is the act of impressing in the very depths of our being the conviction that we can change the situation without fail. Prayer is the way to destroy all fear. It is the way to banish sorrow, the way to light a torch of hope. It is the revolution that rewrites the scenario of our destiny... Believe in yourself! Don't sell yourself short! Devaluing yourself is contrary to Buddhism, because it denigrates the Buddha state of being within you.”.
Daisaku Ikeda.

And so ...... back to ............

Well, it should be work really but just going to sneak a quick cuppa in bed before I get on with some work. Got quite a bit to do today so not a long lie in I'm afraid, though I've had a few of those the last few days !

Good night out last night at the Mayfair .. my favourite chinese ... good food, good value AND take your own wine .. what more could you want eh !!


And for added entertainment here's Gary doing an alcoholic Rahsaan Roland Kirk Impression.
















Mmm .. well turned out to be a strange sort of day ... nothing really went right ... though in the end, I probably just about held out for a goalless draw kind of day. Just hope more progress can be made tomorrow. Even got a client coming round at 9.30 am .. I mean .. are these people human or what !!!

Finally managed to renew my Notts Cricket membership .. hoping to catch some of the game tomorrow ... though the way things are looking it will only be an hour or so ... shame :-(

Oh well .. starving now so time to put the oven on, chant a few mins then crash in front of the TV.
