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.

Kinda Kindergarten

Kinda Kindergarten
After a period of being out every night for 8 days buddhism/beer/jazz .. ending with a pretty good study meeting on Friday, I had dreams and visions of a nice quiet peaceful weekend to recover .... WRONG !!!!

I did get a lie in on Saturday morning but then mat Charmain and Simon in town for a coffee and Charmain decided to come round to mine to stay overnight ... wasn't too bad though as I got to watch TV whilst she looked at Pics of Orlando Bloom on my PC whilst singing a song called 'happy pants' !!!

Sunday added another Youth Division member to the contents of my flat .. sorry ... Sokka Kindergarten ... Swamp .. or more correctly, Sidecar Swampy ... actually got a bit of musical talent even if it isn't really my cuppa .. ( http://www.myspace.com/sidecarswampy ) .. so that wasn't a particularly peaceful weekend .. though it was pretty funny I guess ..

But onwards ... I've managed to start my week by getting up just after 8 and doing morning gongyo .. planning to work more as one of my determinations to to avoid being so skint all the time ...

and here's a pic of the old man and the Youth
