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.

can they do it ?

No .. pure and simple .... after a disastrous day of batting with only Alleyne and Ealham giving any hope of victory by hanging on until the end. Unfortunately Ealham fell fairly quickly in the morning followed even quicker by Paul Franks ... Decided not worth going down as it looked like an easy victory for Warwickshire, but some great tail end batting by Swann and Sidebottom actually put Notts in with a very small chance of even winning the match so I decide to head down to Trent Bridge .... I arrived to watch 5 balls being bowled before Notts were out .. not really worth it.

Headed to town and met Simon who was meeting Tanya .. another blogger and Buddhist, so had a coffee in Nero with them before heading off to good and M&S for a lazy ready meal for the evening ..... Also saw Charmain who works there looking VERY hungover ... AGAIN lol.





















Lazy evening ahead watching TV hopefully .. probably should have read the 'thought for today' though first:

SGI President Ikeda's Daily Encouragement for May 6
We have both a weak self and a strong self; the two are completely different. If we allow our weak side to dominate, we will be defeated. The thought ,"I am still young and have a lot of time, so I can relax and take life easy" is a function of our own weakness.
