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.

Bah Humbug !!!

Well ... I thought I'd better say it .. I mean it's so close now to that dreaded time of year ... shuddderrr !!! As always, I'll be pleased when it's over and I can look forward to possibly 8 months before it's rammed down our throats again.

Actually started my Xmas shopping today and was pleasantly surprised how few people were in town .. maybe they really aren't spending this year !!

Well .. at least there's the consolation of one more Mayfair before Xmas .. this Friday .. big Yum ... it's usually a glutton fest this one with definite puddings of battered fruit and ice cream .. surprised the Glaswegians didn't get there first !!!

Oh well .. I'll leave the (somewhat crude) last words to Eric Idle
