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.

Clean and Go

Thought I'd post before I do morning gongyo .. just briefly. Last day in Nottingham for a couple of days as I;m going back to Lincolnshire to visit my Mum .. Always pleased to get back to Nottingham though ... it's way too quiet where she lives ... wouldn't be so bad if it was on teh coast or something but just a dull little comuter village .. could never live anywhere like that again !

Anyway .. alst night was a good night sports wise ... after Notts bowled Leicestershire out for 136 they really struggled and were well behind the run rate .. until. ... Mark Ealham came into bat and battered 4 sixes and a 4 off 5 balls .. pretty spectacular to watch .. ! Then came home and watched the 2nd half of Germany v Italy in the World cup .. which ran to extra time with Italy scoring 2 excellent goals in the last minute of extra time .. really pleased as I've got a team to support in the final now .. and if the football is even half as good as that match, it should be a cracker !!

I can't believe I wrote that .. I'm not even especially sporty !!!

Well .. apart from dental visit in a couple of hours time, I'm hoping to clear up a few web jobs today before I go and also intending to have a major clean/throw out .... It's only a small falt and I tend to hord .. it's kind of got to the point where looking at the flat pisses me off .. so it's time for a clean/throw binge :-)

So ... gongyo then get on with it :-)
