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.

Does it get better ?

Well .. Yesterday wasn't too painful ... felt knackered from the outset though as I'd slept pretty badly.

Always strange going back to Lincolnshire ... and Soooooo quiet in the village .. it would drive me mad to live there ! All in all though, an ok time .. apart from the obligatory puddings that Mothers always insist we eat !

Got back to Nottingham at 7.15 straight to a Buddhist meeting which went on until 10pm .. so I was well knackered and grumpy by the time I went to bed .. only to wake at 5am with tooth/jaw ache !! Had a couple of Cupronol (and some brandy) .. seems to have done the trick ... will see what the day brings !
