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.

And they're away .............

Finally .......

Cricket starts proper for the season yesterday and how much do we get ? .... 14 overs .. then it rains again. Pretty sure Notts have accepted a draw and will try to grind out as many bonus points as possible ... not the most exciting thing to watch but I din't mind a bit of slow cricket :-)

Went to see Killer Shrimp at Jazz at Arnold last night .. pretty good .. especially after the drummer realised that it wasn't Moby Dick he was supposed to be playing, and fell in with the rest of the band ! Pic below (note to self - get a digital camera !!)















Oh well ... making an early start today with th intention of getting some work done, having a quick swim then hoping to get the best part of an afternoons Cricket in depending on workload and weather (and that's looking very 50/50 right now) ... Will have to leave early though to get to our Buddhist Discussion meeting this evening ... busy day ahead !!!

............................Later..........................

Anddddddddd yet more rain .. no cricket once again .. very frustrating .. nearly a dead cert for a draw now .. still .... did get more work done anyway .... off to Buddhist meeting now !

slow cricket - isn't that what they call tautology?
