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.

Red Head

No .. not some cute Willow look alike but my head .. ! Did wear a hat and slapped some cream on but it's gone a nice shade of red .. well more pink really .. not too bad though.













Didn't get back from the cricket until nearly 7.45 last night so skipped the Buddhist meeting .. got 3 in 4 days coming up anyway soon so not bothered about that.

Seem to have got a fair bit of work lined up now so that will keep the money rolling in .. will need to get on though or I'll fall behind. Have decided not to go to cricket until mid afternoon .. just for a couple of hours ... largely as it's a nice day .. but Notts have now taken some more wickets and looks like Warwickshire will end up with a 350 or 375 lead .. which is a good lead though could be beaten ... best scenario though is that Notts bat the day out cautiously and hope that the promised rain materialises tomorrow and they get a thoroughly undeserved draw !
