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.

phew ... what a scorch ... errr wait .. it's raining !

Just a few lines while I'm waiting for my cuppa to brew .. Bit of a late start today .. bit surprised that I slept in as I felt pretty hot and uncomfortable last night. Mind you, feeling a bit grumpy so I'm guessing it wasn't good sleep.

Been a hot few days this last week. I know that after sitting in it over the weekend at cricket I was getting ready for a cooler day or two and I woke this morning to find it's raining .. Normally, I'd be well pissed off, but it should freshen things up.

Been putting off starting a job which I'm going to crack on with as soon as I've done my late morning gongyo.
