"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.

The Age of Women

"Women, in particular, have an immense power with which to create peace in the 21st century. The success of our movement depends on the degree to which we respect women and allow them to utilize their full potential. The age of male dominance is over. We are now living in the age of women."

(Daisaku Ikeda, 'World Tribune' Aug. 10, 2007 pg.3)
