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.

Bleary and Dreary

Mmm feeling a bit on the groggy side this morning after the Mayfair visit last night. We didn't have our usual friend with us to hoover up the remnants and we also ordered too much so the food was great as ever but felt pretty bloody bloated after it.

Popped in the Lincolnshire Poacher afterwards but could barely get a pint down me before I had to go on to the Whisky (any excuse !). Tried an interesting
Welsh Whisky which, to my surprise was really nice (though it did smell of wet sheep .. sorry :-)

Bit of a slow start as I needed to come round slowly (and watch a Buffy episode). Hoping to crack on today though as cricket starts tomorrow so I'd like to see as much of that as I can.
