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.

I wanna dub you

Dub you always ,......

Why on earth, on returning from the pub have i got the urge to listen to Dub Reggae ... and no .. not into wacky baccy so that's no excuse ! Maybe it's nostalgia for the old ad lib club (now the Lizard lounge) .... It used to be a weird (for a lincolnshire yokel) to be a minority down there but the music was great .. especially remember Joe Gibbs and the professionals but can't find his stuff online ... found some eek a mouse but sadly now sounds like crazy frog on dope so not a good recommendation !!

Oooooh and now I've found one of my all time faves .. Janet Kay's 'Silly Games' .. good sport hitting that high note when drunk (nearly ;-)

And in the morning ...>>>>

Mmmm shouldn't have stayed up so late trying to find some good old dub on the web .. feeling a bit groggy and tired so I think today's just going to be a 'do what's necessary' day ... Will probably take most of the afternoon off and spend some time in the sun as it looks like it's gonna rain for several days after today so I may as well work a bit at the weekend to catch up.

Funnily enough .. the Buddhist Guidance for today is very appropriate ... though I guess I'm unlikely to act on it today ... oh well .. Manyana :-)

SGI President Ikeda's Daily Encouragement for May 12
I want you to understand the subtle workings of the mind. How you orient your mind, the kind of attitude you take, greatly influences both you yourself and your environment. The Buddhist principle of a single life-moment encompassing 3,000 realms completely elucidates the true aspect of life's inner workings. Through the power of strong inner resolve, we can transform ourselves, those around us and the land in which we live.
