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.

And you thought I'd gone ....

Thought it was time that I finally posted again .. also because I'm feeling weary and putting off doing some work ... it's that Monday morning feeling especially when my loud strangely voiced neighbour decided to have a LOUD conversation with someone right outside my bedroom window at 7am !!

So, as you can tell, there's an element of grumpiness about today so I'll be avoiding people where possible :-)

So what's happened since last Wednesday ?

Well, firstly cricket .... It looked for quite a while as though Notts were about to lose again but a slow century from David Hussey, his first half decent score of the season, and a quick 50 plus from Graeme Swann gave us a lead of 80 runs going into the second innings. Not enough to avoid us having to bat again ..... you'd think !!

I was umming about leaving to watch the England game but decided to stay .. and what a good choice ... Notts bowled them all out for 46 runs .. Charlie Shreck taking 8 of the wickets .. quite spectacular though it doesn't say much about Middlesex's chances of staying up ! Anyway, the win has scraped us just above the relegation zone so let's hope it kick starts the season a bit !

Other stuff since Wednesday .. MMMMM not a deal really ... went out on Saturday and Sunday nights .. fairly subdued though and not a lot to report. I'll edit if I remember anything worthwhile to post !
