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.

Well .. a great day of cricket yesterday ... tense and interesting rather than exciting. I honestly expected Notts to lose but hoped for a draw. In the end they nearly actually won the match which would have been a hell of a victory ... sad it wasn't to be but was still a good game.

Been a rushed few days with cricket in the daytime and buddhism or booze in the evening so I'm looking forward to a more relaxed week though I've got 2 more Buddhist Meetings this week but at least I can get some work done in the day and hopefully squeeze a swim or two and coffee in too.

And on that note ... on with the work !
