Chanting Buddha: Gweener than Gween

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.

Gweener than Gween

Yesterday was a green day, though thankfully not in the David Ike kind of way ... well, at least I didn't see any lizards (though there were some strange people indeed :-).

Quite a nice chilled out day really and pretty sunny apart from a shower ... my head is pretty red though this morning !

Had quite a bit of interest on the stall and 6 people who already want to come to buddhist meetings so that's pretty good.

Anyway .. too early to use my brain so here's some pretty (and not so pretty) pics from the day.
