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.

Just a small one please

Had a letter today saying I have the opportunity to receive a Omamori gohnozon (that's a small version of a scroll that we chant to for non buddhists out there) ... for all my hard work !!.... that has to be the first time anyone has said I've worked hard lol. Pretty sure I'll accept as the opportunity doesn't come along very often .... Not sure what the significance for me is but I guess time will tell that.

Another quiet day .. could do with some work ... so if anyone wants a web site doing let me know !
