"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.

Sword




Start again
Renew my goals
And fight

Wayne once told me,
"Probe the depths of the music,
Walk the path of integrity,
Courageously interact."

And so today
I start over-
Raise my sword;
Cut right through.

-Bethany Wild-
