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.

Lazy Monday !


I really need to get over these late starts ... I'm not sure why I wake so late feeling tired ... probably not a good idea to eat heavy pasta meals as late as I tend to do ... !!

It's 10.30am and I've just dragged myself out of bed ... about to do my morning chanting .. probably a shortish one .. 15 mins or so .. then 'crack on' with some work .. at least for the morning as I have 'Things to do' this afternoon :)

I had a dream last night. I wish I could say it was a Martin Luther King style one, but it wasn't ! I remember that I was being posted to Botswana for 2 months but couldn't get on board the plane as I'd left my passport so I couldn't go. I remember feeling very relieved, but not because I was worried about going, but because it would mean 2 months of missing Neighbours ... how tragic is that !!!!
