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.

Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrain !!!!!!!!!!

Jeeze am I pissed off with the weather .... All last week when there was no cricket (with the exception of Sunday), the sun came out and was really sticky and humid. Yesterday at the start of a 4 day match I decided to work in the morning then pop down in teh afternoon ... Got there and watched about an hour when .......















Yep ... it pissed down ALL afternoon ....... Mind you .. Notts could well lose again despite playing a poor side so might well actually be glad in the end.

Don't know what's the matter with Notts right now. Same team as last year and this year they haven't won a game and could well get relegated if they don't start to turn things around ... suspect their confidence is shot ... Still .. at least we'll have a local derby against Derby and Leicester next year :-)

Other than that .. work, dull, world cup etc etc .... Argentina the best side I've seen so far.
