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.

I love Cuprofen

Wow .. after waking with that pain in my tooth/jaw .. it didn't come back all yesterday ... seems like it must have been some inflamation .. so impressed, I went out and bought another packet ... just in case !

Bit of a bitty day .. work was bits and bobs but seems to have cleared the decks a bit so I can get on with stuff.

Was looking forward to a swim but the pool was out of action for a fair while so I had to sweat in the sauna and steam room for a while before I could get in there .. good to get a swim in though .. felt so stodgy after yesterday.

Went to the Horse and Groom in the evening to see some local Jazz with guest Alto Sax player Christian Brewer .. very good .. really nice sound from the sax .. and small world eh ... turns out he's a Buddhist and SGI member too .... how cool is that !




















Looking to progress with some work this morning and have a long lunch break and watch The 39 Steps .. haven't seen that for a while.

Ok .. morning Gongyo now then work ........ >>>>>
