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.

Spin or not to spin

Very brief one as it's the last day of the county match - Notts V Hampshire. Hampshire definitely have the upper hand but it's been a pretty engrossing game really .. the final day leaves Notts needing 360 to win .. do-able but not very likely .. more likely to be a hanging in there kind of match trying not to lose all the wickets before end of play and scratch a draw out of the game, but realistically, with Shane Warme bowling at us ... not looking good.

Been a hectic few days with last night being the only night I've had in for ages and this week is similar .. with 3 Buddhist meetings including the Basics one tonight !!

Anyway .. gongyo now then off to the crickt to frazzle in the sun .... again !!!
