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.

Re Determining

Been a strange week since coming back from Taplow ... have felt tired and lethargic and un enthusiastic. Maybe it was lack of sleep or maybe negativity.

Anyway .. seems to be waning now and have been thinking about new determinations from the Course. The theme of the course seemed to be about expanding our vision for our happinness and that of others so based on that, I've made new determinations .. though of course money/relationship ones still stand :)

New Determinations are:
  1. To live with the spirit of Nichiren and Ikeda but in my own unique way
  2. To establish a 'Golden Vision' based on respect for myself and for others
  3. To elevate the life condition of myself and others to enable them to reveal their full life potential.
