"It is senseless to blame others or your environment for your miseries. Change begins from the moment you muster the courage to act. When you change, the environment will change. The power to change the world is found nowhere but within our own life." -Daisaku Ikdea-

As I begin my 21st year of Buddhist practice with SGI-USA, I find great joy in sharing quotes, principles, guidances and poems from Daisaku Ikeda . Some are poems and thoughts of my own. I hope you will be encouraged.

Desires



I recently spoke with a woman who told me about her experiences as a sleep walker.
Once, her husband woke up to find her trying to go out the front door.

After that, they moved all the furniture in the bedroom. This new arrangement made it impossible for her to get out of bed without climbing over her husband, waking him up.

I asked her if she was still having the sleep walking episodes, and she said "No".
She and her husband divorced. The sleep walking stopped.
