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 new beginning ?

In all things patience is the key to victory. Those who cannot endure cannot hope to win. Ultimate triumph belongs to those who can forbear. Daisaku Ikeda - Guidance for today.

Managed to wake a little earlier today so finally, an earlier start ... cup of tea first and a quick look through the Morning Star before my morning Buddhist practise. Have skipped the last few in the evening so I'm determined to do that today.

Just came across this photo from a recent SGI Mens meeting .. what a bunch of dodgy looking geezers eh !!















Just had an e-mail from a friend complaining about me not updating the blog frequently enough ... so here's my revenge ... :-)
