"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.

From A Message




Two sentences from President Ikeda's message to the members of the East Territory:

"The important thing is to defeat any cowardice or weakness in your own mind. It is always your mind, and not the mind of the other person, that is being put to the test."


-Daisaku Ikeda -
