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.

Is it light yet ?

God .......... woke before 8am today .. what is happening to me ?????

Probably as well though as I have to catch a train to go over to see my Mum in Lincolnshire .. better prepare for the howling gales across the coast when I step off in my old home town .... smelling the dampness of a coastal town .. or maybe it's the locals ! Oh well .. not a fun day but has to be done .. not seen her for a while .. then it's most likely straight from the train when I get back ... to a Buddhist meeting tonight unless I really feel too knackered ...

Oh well .. best chant a little now then go ...
