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.

Finally, at last and arghhhhh

Finally

I got my tokubetsu gohonzon enshrined !! I received it last October I believe and for one reason and another I didn't get it enshrined, but finally I had a little ceremony last Friday and then went over the pub where I drank too much and then drank whisky after coming back and felt like crap all the next day and did no work !!!

At Last !!

The cricket season started at Trent Bridge. I went down for a one day game on the sunday after going to Kosen Rufu gongyo. I was a bit late and missed 2 wickets. I watched a few overs then went to the co-op to get some food and when I got back, 2 more wickets had gone !! Anyway .. Northants ended up with a pretty low total which Notts beat with relative ease. Have to say though that I can't understand why people prefer one day cricket to County Cricket .. Apart from the last 4 overs, I found the game pretty dull.

Arghhhhh !!

While it was raining at the criocket, I walked past the physio room and trhey were offering free blood pressure checks so I thought 'why not' .. Much to my surprise I discovered I've got high blood pressure !!! 160/100 .. Nothing to worry about apparently but probably a good idea to keep it in mind re diet/exercise etc ..... Can I do that at the Mayfair tonight ?? Not so much battered food or wine ... mmmmm tell will tell ;)
