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.

One Day to go

Before the end of the Bank Holiday ..... Can't say I'm too dissapointed .. not really done anything with it ... Quite enjoyed the lie ins for the first couple of days but started to get a little dull after that .... Had intended to go to the Comedy Club last night with a friend but she cried off with a cold so that was yet another night in !

At least today has been a little more fruitful up to now at least . I did get up earlier and chanted a bit more than usual. Also have taken the first steps to writing a small booklet on Buddhism which I hope to sell for a pound or so online when it's done. Won't make me a fortune I'm sure .. well you never know :-)

On the cricket front, it's all looking good for Notts who declared on 471 for 5 in their second innings leaving them with a lead of 493 if my maths is correct. At lunch MCC are on 143 for 4 so unless the weather intervenes, it looks like a Notts victory.

Right .. finally going to try to get the blood pumping again and going for a swim now .. Need to work up an appetite as I'm out at the Mayfair Chinese tonight .. Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
