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 still it boils ...

Another hot day, though thankfully, my flat is reasonably cool which makes work bearable. It does help, mind, being able to nip out for a swim at lunchtime .. keeps me fit AND cools me down.

Fairly pleased with progress today so far .. have managed to keep fairly focussed and am trying to clear up a few bits of work before Thursday as I'm going to visit my mum for a couple of days. Definitely need to get some new work soon though as the current batch is coming to a close. Don't mind a short break but can't afford a long one !

Heading to town now .. going to upgrade my phone .. only because my old one is playing up though ... guess I'll have to figure out how to use the new ones. Just looked at the models I;m thinking of ... all the blurb mentions MP3/Camera/E-mail ... doesn't even mention the phone aspect of it .. !! Modern technology eh !!

Will grab a coffee while I'm there .. looks like we may get a few days of rain so I may as well get the sun while it's here.
