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.

A Dedication

To my blog fan who always e-mails to remind me to post .. just to lighten up his dull day ... so here we go .. a little poem (he's gonna kill me for this).

Ken, Ken,
Remember - when
you were a
nearly
famous
rock star

But then Ken,
you took up
the pen
and
work for the
City Council.

Today is looking less stressed than yesterday though quite busy work wise. Had hoped to pop to Trent Bridge later on to catch the end of another friendly but looking outside, fat chance that will happen ... guess today is a 'crack on' day .. though could yet involve a little day time TV in teh afternoon :-)
