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.

Another day another poverty

God .. it's like old times .... Work is so scarce at the moment and there's no money coming in ... got to change soon. Kind of know when I've accepted it when I go to the shop to buy chick peas and tin tomatoes to make a curry

Seriously .. obviously a bit worried but funnily enough not that concerned .. I know it will change again .. it did this time last year but could be a bit tricky until it does ... it will sort itself out I' m sure (guess what I'm chanting for )

I suppose one good thing is the change in the weather .. at least I don't feel the need to go out so much and enjoy a coffee in the sun so hopefully Winter will be more work oriented. Also going to start a new business doing web design more geared to the budget market.

On the Buddhist front .. went to Charmain's new place this morning to 're enshrine' her Gohonzon and have a meeting this Friday so need to prepare for that as I'm moderating it.

Other than that ... all pretty quiet really .. hopefully something interesting to report soonish
