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.

Just an Update

Haven't posted a while so thought I'd just update, though not a lot has happened really .. it's mainly been a case of Heat, Cricket and Buddhist Meetings. The heat has been good though a couple of days off would suit me ok but getting used to it nicely.

Last couple of Buddhist Meetings have been good too with over 25 at our last discussion meeting .. Thankfully, there was a big garden we could go into for the meeting after the chanting .... it was pretty damn hot in the room.

And the cricket .... Well .. we've reached the final of the 20/20 with a devastating victory over Northants which saw a very surreal run out and Lance Klusener nearly scoring a six with the bat when it slipped form his hand and travelled about 25 yards .. don't see that every day !

Currently playing league leaders Lancashire at home and after winning the toss, we struggled a while and lost a few wickets quickly but a brilliant 150 from David Hussey backed by Mark Ealham gave us 397 in the first innings and then managed to bowl Lancs out for 200. Currently in the second innings we're 94 for 5 which isn't great but is still a lead of 291 on a deteriorating wicket and hopefullyu we can add to that. Should be a victyory for Notts ... though we're quite capable of stuffing up !!

Anyway ... woke early today so instead of slobbing around in bed, I;ve decided to get on with some work and hopefully get down the cricket earlier.
