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.

Ok .. so today is going to be soooo lazy ! I had intended to sleep in this morning but woke a little before 8am. My leg feels really sore too which puzzled me but then I remembered watching some of the Isle of Wight festival on TV and recerting back to my drumming days .. on my legs .. ouch !!

So .. the plan today is that I've laid in bed watching an old Buffy DVD .. must order season 4 soon! .. Gonna tidy the flat in a few mins then have a walk to fetch teh paper etc then settle down to the England match this afternoon .. no idea for the evening .. probably more TV .... Suspect I'll feel pretty tired as I was drinking last night .. went outside the Playhouse as it was warm .. though was a bit chilly at the end ... nice to get outside though !
