Why do I practise ?

Well, that's a very good question ? I ask myself this all the time.

I first encountered this Buddhism through my Greek Language teacher back in early 1994 . I became friends with her and her husband and often used to go out drinking with them. They kept mentioning Buddhism and encouraging me to attend neetings but I had no interest at all - I mean, why would I ?

Despite this she insisted on me taking a Buddhist Magazine which I did, largely to keep her quiet and promptly put it away in my drawer.

I was first introduced to this Buddhism, when trying to organise a multi cultural event for a Specialist College. I had gone onto the internet to look for Buddhists in the local area and stumbled across a chat room that had some SGI members in it. One guy called Andre started to tell me about Nichiren Buddhism and also about Cause and Effect. It all sounded very interesting and the more we spoke the more it all made perfect sense to me.
