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.

How do you solve a problem like .....


Had a request on the Midget Submarines myspace site to be our 'friend' .. turns out it was from our one time occasional chick-bassist Maria Spadafora (well .. it was compulsory then :-) ... Where as Shuggy was probably our most competent, Andy definitely our most miserable, Maria was our funniest .. running off stage during a battle of the bands competion in fits of laughter .. mind you ... we were shit .. and actually got disqualified for doing a non original song. Ironically that one was an original and the others weren't !!!


Anyway .. good to hear from her again ... but no midgets reforming in the future .. we're not the Police ya know :-)


Ok .. 4 days off now .. planning to spend a lot of tomorrow watching Buffy DVDs in bed but there's cricket starting again on Monday. Think I also need to do a fair bit of chanting over weekend too .. been lazy recently .. been doing some .. but not enough.
