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.

Woke early and had intended to start real early too as I'm hoping to go to cricket in the afternoon and think I'm meeting Charmain for coffee beforehand. But somehow .. I just can't get going in the morning until I've had a cuppa in bed and therefore inevitably an episode of Buffy :-)

Anyway ... short today as I do need to get going ... more later

and later >>>>

Well ... Summer seems finally to be here .. lovely sunshine but unfortunately slightly dull cricket though with Notts being in a good position. They took 4 wickets in the morning and one just after lunch .. and then !!!! I arrived and they took 2 more wickets in the next 2 hours (and I was in the loo for one of those !). Anyway .. ended up with just one wicket to take with Warwickshire on 248 so looking reasonably good .. have to see what tomorrow brings.















Actually had to put some sun cream on too and it's likely to be hotter tomorrow ... Think I might need some new cream .. I smell like yoghurt ! .. Lazy evening beckons ... maybe a bit of work first though.
