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.

Worra Week !!

Well .. very little still on the 'throw out' progress .. all seems to have ground to a halt but it's still on my 'to do' list.


Been a hell of a week .. mainly for a friend of mine but that also has impact on me, if only because one thing I do inherit from my mother is that I tend to worry more than I need !

Anyway .. can't go into detail here but it was pretty bad. However, the interesting thing is that there has been a real sea change in their attitude since and they now really seem to be putting Buddhism into practise in their lives. I don't think I've ever heard them so positive and focussed as I have the last couple of days. Guess my role is to continue to support them in that direction.

Work has been busy too but now levelling out so I can re-start my throw out ... honest :-)


Jazz night tonight .. The Nicholas Meier Group ... have some reservation as he's a bit of a flash guitarist which I'm not overly keen off but the musicioans with him are excellent so overall, should be a good gig.
