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.

Wednesday 19th August 2009 - Clear blue skies .. very hot !

Despite the sunny hot weather, I managed to avoid going outside for most of the day. Once again though, much of this time was spent 'slacking' - much as I don't like using the word, on days like these I almost 'hate' myself for being unable or unwilling to motivate ! Have redetermined to put my determinations into action, instead of simply just 'making' them !

Went to the cricket for the last hours of play, mainly to get some sunshine as it was a tedious game. A new start tomorrow !
