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.

At Last !!!

I've been feeling pretty shattered and drained this last week .. continuingly fighting tiredness. It's all a bit sad that this probably stemmed from drinking last week end ... A whole week to recover !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Anyway, this morning, I finally managed to sleep in and didn't wake until 10am ... felt really shattered initially, but after a semi doze I felt in that land of mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmwarm bed ... finally forced myself out to make a cuppa and watched a DVD of Le Boucher which was a freeebie with the independent ... pretty decent film .. so finally got up about 12.30 .. just in time to do a few bits before I settle down to watch teh footie on TV> Typical though, the sun comes out and I decide to stay in .. oh well !!
