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 ....................

Finally ... after months of cold bleak weather ... the cricket season starts today with a home friendly for Notts. I always try to get for the first ball of the season (geek) .. hope to today but that may not happen, though I'll definitely pop down for some of the day .. though feeling quite bleary from wine round at a friends last night.

Headed for a Buddhist Meeting at short notice which was unfortunate as the weather looked ok this morning and the cricket would have been nice. Not a bad meeting though and I caught the Tram back looking forward to at least part of an afternoons cricket ......

Finally got there just after they had left the field for lunch so decided to have mine too.















And finally .. after months and months of Winter .. the team came out for the second innings defending a 285 run lead ..... and here's the first ball I saw this season (bit grainy though)















I settled back in my seat .. thinking 'this is the life' .. though it was a bit cold ... then all of a sudden ...................................................















2 bleedin overs .. that's all I saw.. then after an hour it was called off .. mind you, in that short time Paul Franks had managed to deliver 2 consecutive wide balls .. no change there then !!!!

Mr D.W. ... you wait till next time I se you .. Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr :-)
