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.

Busy busy busy !!


Phew .. what a busy day .. I even had to get up at 8.30am ! Managed to get a fair bit of work done by 1pm then popped down the gym for a quick 20 lengths in the pool before dashing off to the cricket.

And the sun even came out ... look I'm even squinting (what a flattering pic eh)















Shame we lost but it was only a one day friendly to Leicester and we looked like getting hammered but nearly won it at the end ... good to be back though :-) ..., Match report on my cricket blog.

Was told today that my blog


"is a Beckettian metaphor for the ennui and absurdity of
modern existence"



errrrr thanks Ken ... I think !!!!

Anyway .. must dash for the rest of my busy day .. Buddhist Planning meeting in 20 mins then finally back for some food and TV wind down ... I mean .. I haven't even seen Neighburs yet today !!
