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.

Tuesday August 18th 2009 - Sunny day

Another semi-wasted day of work. I seem to currently be putting off everything including ringing the Tax Office to tell them I can't pay them! This should really be motivating me to work harder but it isn't; maybe things have to hit the bottom before I pick things up !

My Buddhist practise still strong though and I have nearly finished typing up my course notes. Should have gone to a discussion meeting in the evening but my lift pulled out too late for me to re-arrange getting there. I have to confess to a little relief, though a meeting is probably exactly what I needed !
