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.

Early Start

Woke quite early today which is good I guess. And making a bit of an earlier start - partly as I've finished series 5 of Buffy DVDs so not watching one of those before getting up (sad !), but also arranged to meet Charmain for coffee in town at 10.30am. Must admit that I moaned about it being so early, then it hit me that most people are actually up and have been in work for a couple of hours by then ... the joys (and pitfalls) of working from home !

Another good night at the cricket last night with Notts winning quite comfortably and getting through to the semi finals of the 20/20 competition for the first time. In theory, have an easy draw too so hopefully will get to the finals day.

Busy few days coming up with our planning meeting tonight (poss followed by a beer), meal tomorrow night and Study on Friday (poss followed by beer), Meal on Saturday night too .... Don't think at the minute that I've anything on Sunday so hope to chill out then and let my liver recover.

Right .. gongyo now ........
