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 morning after the night before

And there's a strange man in my room !! No .. don't worry .. it's only Alan who was so drunk last night I thought I should take responsibility for not letting him get in his car after the Party .. Mind you, he got in a taxi with me to my flat thinking that he'd left the car at mine which he hadn't .. it was in town ... which probably proves the point that he shouldn't have driven !) ... Anyway ... Apart from feeling a bit jaded, I feel fine today though Alan seemed to be suffering ... cause and effect .. serves him right lol.

Good party though quite relaxed and not too many there so that was quite nice ... bit of a late finish though .. ending up with the usual drunken philosophical debates ..... probably counteract the banal rubbish I'll watch on TV today anyway.
