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.

A Bit Fishy

Early rising again ... think I must be going down with something ... or maybe it was the lack of decent nutrition last night ... as when I get home I realised I had virtually nothing in to eat .. so my evening meal consisted of fish finger sandwiches and a magnum ice cream ... yummy but !!!

Similar plan to yesterday really .. quick morning gongyo (buddhist chanting) then work .. will squeeze a quick swim in then head down to cricket in the afternoon .. apparently it's going to be 70 degrees ... wahay :-)










Well .. at least had a good swim today and the pool was working .. been out twice this week !!

Was looking forward to the cricket this afternoon but after bowling Warwickshire out for 248 Notts have collapsed and at lunch are 62 for 6 .. so not good .... Only real positive is that the weather is great and I've got a paper to sit and read in the sun ... could be a relegation battle this year !
