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.

the season starts here ...........

Finally .. some half decent weather so I managed to drag myself out of bed (really !) to go down to watch the last day of cricket of this game .. inevitably a draw but at least should see some decent batting.

Needed to get out .. had a pretty crap Buddhist meeting last night and came away feeling a bit pissed off and annoyed. I hate the meetings that get used as therapy sessions .. NOT what it's about ... or maybe it's me being intolerant lol

Anyway .. the weather stayed ok though a bit cooler than I'd hoped for but Notts managed to get the maximum batting bonus points anyway so that's a good sign that they are continuing from where they left off. Didn't get a chance to bowl but weather permitting, should get a change to see that in the C&G one day game tomorrow.

Had intended to do a few things in the evening but too tired ... all that fresh air !! Crashed out with an M&S curry and a bottle of wine instead :-)
