The Occasional Blog of a Nichiren Daishonin Buddhist - SGI-UK.
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.
