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.

'As is' was as is but Mayfair is not as was !!

Jazz night last night again at the Bonington with ByronWallen's 'As Is' .. on the whole I enjoyed it but there were moments of self indulgence and the addition of a second guitarist seemed a little .. well almost pointless. Without wanting to be cruel, he was obviously a decent musician but didn't seem to add much. Would personally rather have had a pianist insted but !!!!

















Also .. had a nasty shock the other day as I was on teh bus .. I thought the Mayfair restaurant had gone !!!!! However, on closer inspection it's had a bit of a facelift ... Not sure I approve .. there was something comforting about a place that hasn't chaged since the sixties .. though I guess it was probably due a change ... just hope the food is as good !!!
